The Great Whale

This huge timber sculpture is on the local 'Doorstep Green' at Hardings Pits, Kings Lynn. It comemorates the town's connection with the whaling industry in the 19th century.

Sadly the green is now designated for 'redevelopment'. The locals are fighting back though!

What an interesting subject! I hope that it is preserved. At least you did your part in preserving it!

I am guessing that the miscolouring of the print is from the scan- sometimes when my paper doesn't lie perfectly flat I get similar things. I see a bluish region at lower left and another bluish region running down down vertically just to the right of center. Let me suggest weighing the print down.
 
It is the scan. I did weight it down, but my scanner is a an old, cheap one and I'm finding this more often. I do prefer to scan in full colour as it's part of the 'integrity' thing - I want people to see the scanned print as closely as possible to the real thing. I beginning to wonder whether I should just scan in grayscale. I suppose I could buy a better scanner, but I'd rather spend my money on film and paper!

Thanks for the comments.
