When I first looked at this photograph I mistook it for a lith print. Interesting.

Hi Dan, I am trying to learn Lith but keep getting sidetracked with toning! It's wonderful paper and the toning process really opens doors for me along with bleaching. Thanks for looking and commenting

I agree with Dan. This is a beautiful print!

Very well done

For those who are interested, here is a scan of the negative that I used. http://www.apug.org/gallery1/showimage.php?i=69600&catid=member&imageuser=54539

The whole series is beautiful !!!

That's beautiful! Isn't Art 300 the most fun paper to print on? I really like it, and the toning you've done here is exquisite.

Is the grain on this the Rodinal or from part of the print making process? it's really nice.

Thank you all for your encouraging comments! Stone, the negatives are very smooth. I get this effect when stand developing the Superpan in Rodinal. The images are quite bleak and washed out. The grain is from the bleaching. I over-expose by a stop or two and develop in Harman warm tone, then I bleached at 1:50, water bath it for a couple of minutes, drag it (literally) through a sepia bath and then give it a few minutes in selenium (which as somewhere between archive and tone dilution).The longer I bleach, the more grain i get. Also, what you are seeing is the texture of the Art 300 paper, which is very beautiful paper.

Thanks! Sounds like a fun process, and well tested by the spine of it thanks.
