Thanks all, much appreciated. Nobody has accused me of photoplagiarism yet, that is good
I admit that I am really looking forward to printing this. I shot several sheets and developed them to different CIs so I will be trying Pt/Pd as well as silver. I think straight Pd will work best. But I am saving all that for winter.
One concern I had with this particular shot is the softness. In some other shots, I tried stopping down much more but then the joints between the shells became too prominent and the overall effect too two dimensional. So I settled on this fuzzy wuzzy version... maybe also to spite a certain friend of Edward's...
