Very nice. I enjoy the way things were, but we do gloss over all the fiddling that some things once needed. I think back to points and distributors and carbs on cars, and don't miss those.

On the other hand it was nice to not be asked what the firmware version is when reporting a problem with a device.
 
This is a luscious print. I think your match of subject, paper and toners is perfect. Thank you for sharing this.
 
Thanks for your encouraging comments. This was my first really successful attempt at toning. Being a relative beginner, I had not expected cooltone paper to tone so well, but I thought I would give it a try.
