top: untoned
bottom:
1.step gold toning - too dark, reddish blue
2.step chromium bleach of remaining untoned metallic silver - brightly-blue
3.step redeveloped in week amidol developer (cooltone) to desired density
4.step fixer to remove the rest of silver salt
Is it in fact the same print? Or two of equal density?
I too am amazed at your ability to transform a scene with some experienced darkroom knowledge and experimentation. Very inspiring! These are both fantastic prints.
