That's a different style of yours ! That bird seems to hold the composition together.
What is the coldtone bit that you are refering to in your developer section?
 
Great Holga series Stoo and the circling bird is a nice touch - love it
This shows how a different approach when the weather is appalling can bring rewards.

Don't think I've ever been to Wheal Francis so it's interesting to see what it looks like !
 
Another little Holga cracker Stoo - well done :smile: The birds were good on that day and there was a lot of them about - maybe beacuse we were the only souls up there on that foul day! Bird just right at the top - couldn't be better.

Thank you all.
Delphine, the coldtone I mention is a home brew. I made the print in my usual way and then bleached right back to a biscuit, then redeveloped in the coldtone developer. The print was then lightly bleached(after washing), and toned in theo. I have Leon Taylor to thank, as I was inspired to try this combination after seeing his collection of Holga prints toned in this way, though his print will start its life in the coldtone developer itself. I thought it would give my prints that, cold haunting feel to them.
