Okay, I've tried a few renditions of this print and did experience some mottling on prior versions. I am not sure what was going on, but the negs were not bad when I viewed them. Could have been some paper anomalies. I took what I thought was the best neg and made this print last night. I think it's the best version I've made of this particular scene so far... I am trying to slow down and go through all my negs from this trip with a fine toothcomb to make sure I eek the best images out of them.
