Two Trees

Nice one Dan. Dan, I am curious what effect gold toning has on this paper when combined with the Harmon Cold Tone Developer. I have never tried it but I have heard that you get much greater effects when you gold tone using a warmtone developer....which I have used on many times. This paper splits real good with gold if you use ilfords warmtone developer or LPD...strong selenium 1:9 for 2-3 minutes...then gold. The gold takes over the highlights first and works it's way down. If you pull the print on time you can get great warm eggplant shadows and nice cold blue highlights.

This photo in my gallery shows this effect...using LPD as the warmtone developer

Again, great photo.

I love the small tree in the lower right corner. Very nice Dan.

Wonderful rhythm and counter-rhythms going here. Nicely done, Dan.

All the best,
Daniel

Thanks, guys.

John: I see that my paper and developer description is wrong. It is Ilford MGWT in Ilford Cooltone Developer, then gold toned. No warmtone developer used.

great find and nice composition...very nice image.

I really like this and I bet it looks awesome on the real print, but, compositionally, I would love to see it without the two leaning trees in the foreground. It's a disharmony to my eyes that interrupts the depth of the forest and the delicateness of the very small saplings against the larger trees, but other than that, I think it is very nice.

Show us a different composition of this snowy forest.

Chuck: thanks for your comments. Check out my gallery. There is an image there from the same forest, same day, with all of the trees vertically aligned. Something about these two leaners attracted me.

excellent work!!
