Haunting, yes. Was fumbling to describe brooding emotion, evocative. Like your mudflat shot, sharp/soft focus locations combine to visually pour salt on the tongue.
@ Andrew. It's an image that has stuck in my mind. I also have a CD somewhere of Ein Deutsches Requiem (a very said piece of music) by Brahms that has a similar image on the cover. Your photograph is extremely good.
Thank you Tony and Peter! Peter, it's a straight scan with slight level adjustments. I have made a carbon transfer print directly from this negative and it's quite lovely... Unfortunately, I gave it away to a friend and have not made another one. It's not as sharp due to printing with the emulsion not in contact with the tissue, to preserve correct orientation. I have printed it emulsion to tissue, but I don't like it reversed. It's really sharp due to semi-stand development.
