Printing plan. This is straight neg scan but tuned with a colour balanced layer in photoshop (puh!). I used to get something similar with a neutral to cold shadow and a warm to reddish highlight printing on Kodak Polyfiber, Dektol 1+3 and Kodak selentoner 1+4. Any suggestion how to get this result with paper/develop/toner available today?
Yes, I think you are right, it contributes to relating the hugeness of the foreground and the background, adds proportion, but I think the great eye is yours, John!
