My experience with tannic acid toning showed it can produce deep blacks and is remarkably permanent. My permanence test was to staple a toned print to the railing of the deck for a summer's exposure to sun and rain - no change at the end except for a bit of tearing around the staples from the wind.

I keep flipping back and forth between the toned and untoned versions. I like them both, but for slightly different reasons. I like the intense blue. I like the subtle grey/???
I wonder how important it is that I've relatively recently stood right where your camera was and looked at the same scene? IIRC, the toned version more closely approximates the real life experience.

Recently there, as in when Scott and I were there, too? I hope you weren't there recently and didn't let me know! It's literally walking distance for me... But in regards to print tone, the more I look at the two, I prefer the toned version.
