Input sought please. I imagined this as a lith triptych as I shot a bunch of images of my son underwater. Now I'm not sure - perhaps a diptych of the 2nd and 3rd images is stronger.
This was the first time I've tried the Moersch lith kit. I followed the suggested dilution and these prints took forever - 30-35 minutes in the developer.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I have tried putting the left image into the middle, but I don't think it's an improvement. I think I'll go back to the negs and reconsider. Maybe it just needs to be a different image in that spot. I'm still considering the diptych idea as well, though no one commented on that idea.
 
Don't do a diptych. These three fit together well as a story: no swimmer, one with an interesting but unidentifiable object (on the right) and one with the full body visible. The middle one ties them together, you probably wouldn't know there is a swimmer there without it.
 
Err, there actually is a swimmer in the first one, but all you can see is a small lighter patch in the upper left corner.
