Well composed image. I never like horizon lines placed in the center of the image, but i feel its work with this image because of the rock along the bottom, and the line of clouds at the top.

How well do your prints match your scans? For some reason, I cannot find a black in any of your scans, and they all seem somewhat flat. Maybe thats just your printing style?

Well, I'm using an ancient steam-powered scanner which doesn't really do justice to the print(s). I scan the print in then modify as necessary to make it look as near-as -dammit like the original. Perhaps something is getting lost in the translation! The prints were made on Multigrade III (?), back in the early 90s. I found it quite hard to produce as deep a black with this paper than with others at the time. Anyway, many thanks for your comments.
 
Gotcha! Well, I was just wondering because all your scans have about the same look to them. Very nice images thought! I would like to see the prints in real life, because I bet they ARE better.
