Sitting Pretty

Another image from the backlog of Asia photos that I've printed.

This image was a finalist in last year's Wanderlust travel photo competition, but they refused to have it printed properly in a darkroom (even though I offered a few suggestions) and the image finally displayed was made from a simple neg scan with no adjustments. In any event, I like this image with lith better, even though it's tough to keep the colour from becoming too pronounced, especially in the bib.
Location
Ayutthaya, Thailand
Equipment Used

Paper & Developer
Foma MG 132 in Moersch SE5 lith
Beautiful texture. I used to enter Wanderlust photo competitions until they changed the rules to digital entries only :sad:
 
Thanks Peter. I like this image but didn't think it was worthy to be pulled from my portfolio submission as a stand alone entry -- goes to show what we think and what others think can be very different things. The final neg scan that they printed for the competition (which they also seem to have flipped) is here. I don't like digital submissions much either, but being far from everywhere they do allow me to get things in at the last minute if I so desire. In any event, I won't likely enter the competition again, at least not with black and white prints.
 
I much prefer your lith version but well done on getting the B&W image in the magazine.
