So, this is a contact print. It's interesting. Reminds me of Geogia O'keefe. Could you dodge or lighten the upper left corner?
 
Robert,

It is actually an image made in-camera onto an enameled aluminum sheet. The aluminum plate is the modern version of the ferrotype/melainotype aka tintype. There is no print and so WYSIWYG. No way to burn/dodge the wetplate image after the original camera exposure. The vignetting of the corners is an artifact of the lens coverage, not a printing technique.

Another nice one for the series Kerik..Hope you keep em coming, but is the 'bone yard' getting crowded?
 
Thank you for the correction. It's a wonderful image.
