Summer Solstice

I seem to have fallen into a different working style this summer. While the weather was nice and the leaves had lots of chlorophyll I was out shooting a lot, then just processing and proofing the film. Now I have lots of negatives to explore.

This one was made on the first day of summer, and I am quite excited with the resulting print.

Comments, as always, are appreciated.

Is this print for sale?
  1. Yes
It all fits together nicely and I was pleasantly surprised at the warmth in the print at 1+5 LPD. I had always thought that 1+4 in WT paper was about the limit to even get a hint of warmth
 
Lovely shot indeed Dan. I love the way the trees stand tall above the inclined landscape. The IR look is not so severe as that obtained from HIE but appears much more gentle and rich in detail. I've never heard of Obsidian Aqua but it seems to have worked well with your film.
 
Nice print, Dan!
