Nasty pour, great portrait. I wonder if there's a connection?

You'll get the hang of the pouring part after a few more tries. It's easier than most people think. The hardest part for beginners is getting the exposure and development right. Often there is too much of both. This plate is overexposed quite a bit and possibly overdeveloped if the scan is anywhere close to the original plate. Too bad for you, you're hooked now!

Yes, it is a bad pour. The more I see of these, the more I like them. I don't do this, but I sure like the effect.

I like how the bad pour interacts with the subject. Probably will not always work, but in this case, it does. Well done.
