Very nice work! Would you provide more details about the print? %dichromate, pigment, number of coats, thanks.

Dang, Sly. This is impressive. 'Know nothing about the processes, but the result is terribly rich.

Contrast too low (but this ADDS to the beauty here).

Edges are rough (but this ADDS to the beauty here).

Arrangement is perfect. May I taste some of the vegetables (since I am a vegetarian)? - David Lyga

Thanks guys. I really want to do more gum work in the new year.
JP - I used a brief cyano exposure to set the shadows (traditional formula). Then 2 gum layers - olive and sepia. I use 15% ammonium dichromate. The ratio of gum to pigment varies with each print, but dichromate:gum+pigment is constant.

Very nice. But the broccoli looks out of place. Did you put that in for the highlight?

That is cauliflower, not broccoli. - David Lyga

Mfohl, I was just trying to get as much of the weeks harvest into the photo as I could. It was such a beautiful huge cauliflower, that I couldn't leave it out.
