leaves me feeling like it is the opening of an old movie...and the place is hot and dry...and Lee Marvin is about to walk in.

"Man that's a lot of banana's there" Mateo, how does the green happen? I spent two years in Puerto Rico and this photo comes pretty close to my memory of fields of sugar cane.
Mike
nice memory thank you.

the green is the result of the right dilution of lith developer and Forte Fortezo paper. finding that dilution is the trick. oriental paper will give a faint bluegreen in high values sometimes but disappears in selenium. Green is a trip with black and white.

Great stuff!!! I've also been bitten by the Lith bug and have been experiementing with developers, papers and dilutions. What dilution did you use to get the green, if you don't mind me asking? I have one last bottle of Venitian toner that could be used in place of selenium. Could be interesting. Anyway, not at all over the top for me.

I don't think it's over the top. I like the composition as well with the three separate elements of plants in the front, treeline and hazy mountain range.

This is perfect! Really..No problems here. Excellent print Mateo.
BTW-I get similar tones via over-exposed/underdeveloped Kentona
