Awty - it may be a pinhole, but this treatment looks like it belongs there. Looking at this and the cyanotype side by side, there's no detail here that I can't find in the cyanotype - but it looks more recognizable here - easier to see. Just a pleasing feel to this treatment.
 
I was just being silly. It's a remarkable photo and vastly more detail than I have ever got with a cyanotype. I think it's a tremendous achievement to do that.
 
@Svenedin says he who puts up 2 pictures of a Audi FFS!!
Someone had a go at me on another forum for putting up less than ordinary prints. This stuff is hard just to get a half decent negative for contact printing, so when you have one you use on different techniques. .......and then most of them dont turn out.
I don't mind a bit constructed criticism, but derogatory coments just get you down after all the work you have put in.
I know the pictures arent great, but I will keep trying till they are and you'll just have to put up with them.
 
It's a fantastic picture. I've made cyanotypes but they've never been as good as this. I know how difficult they are to get right. I did put those pictures in the experimental gallery but I agree they were boring. Sorry Awty, it was thoughtless and inconsiderate of me. Stephen
