Road To Eternity

I don't think the sky is a particular issue in this image, as much of it is covered up by the trees and their loaf, giving more than enough interest in this image. However, in case of other images, it sometimes helps to preflash the paper before printing, so as to give a slight greyish tone to the sky after the printing exposure and development. I did that with this particular image that I recently posted. The sky would have been utterly blank paper otherwise (disregarding toning):

thanks for the idea. i have never flashed the paper. Will have to read up on that. Many thanks for your help.
