Towards Dark

Shot very late afternoon as night rapidly approached. Its been a miserable wet and windy weekend so have spent most of it in the darkroom doing test prints from negatives shot earlier this year. This is a straight print, want to live with it for a few days and decided what needs to be done.

WOW. I think that's all I can say. So good. Just the right amount of diffused water.
 
Oh man this is great! (the next one with a small tiny human object in it and you have a C.D.Friedrich!) Thanks a lot for sharing.
 
" This is a straight print, want to live with it for a few days and decided what needs to be done." Name your next 2 children after the camera that made it. :smile:
 
Do not change one thing. A beautiful print by any standard. Keep up your great work.Bill
 
Hi everyone thank you for the positive comments. Over recent years I have got in to the habit of making test prints and leaving them scattered around the house to allow me to ponder on how I might add to the initial print. At the moment I'm loving the light on the rocks but feel a little lightening of the rocks on the horizon and the shadows bottom right are needed. Also wondering whether once printed should it be a straight selenium tone or partial split with sepia and selenium.
