This would make a lovely gum print... My wife has taken thousands of slides and negatives of Mother Nature in all its form and I am working
on gum bichromate coloured prints for her. The subject matter and the print process really work well and permanent as well.

I am amazed at how accurate the color reproduction is, after three processes. I have golden barrel cacti in my yard for reference. How old is this film ?

For reasons of comparison - same cactus photographed with another film
(FUJI Pro 400H - slightly expired / ETRSi - Zenzanon 75mm f/2.8) :

Fred - nice one. 'Love the clarity & the Portra color seems ideal. The back/side-lit post shows off the hair-do of needles very nicely.
