Potash Road lith

One of my favorite spots to eat lunch when I am in Moab. This was one of those days where your fingers and toes about fall off from the cold. This print warms up the original a little:) Merry Christmas all!!

Very good but somewhat surreal with the way the colours have appeared. I like the crisp detail, thanks to the RB 67 no doubt.
 
tmike, thanks - The print was very yellow all over even in the shadows initially. Then I toned it in selenium~1:20 until the yellow was toned away in the mids and shadows. With this combo of paper and dilution I find that the selenium will erase most of the color even in the highlights if you don't pay attention and start to turn the mids and shadows a reddish brown which sometimes works but mostly I like to pull it before that point sets in. I've lithed this neg 10 different ways and sometimes it works and many times I'm disappointed This one turned into Moms xmas present, many others ended up in the trash

Methinks I was missing out when this came up a while back... Fantastic print! Full of vibrancy and mood. My hat's off to you.
