I too have finally completed my prints. Here are scans of each of them, plus one of mine:

Each print is on current Ilford MGIV RC paper, developed in Kodak Polymax T developer. I used an Ilford Multigrade 400 light source on an Omega D6 enlarger.
For the steel girder shot, I used the glossy surface, whereas for the tree and horizon photograph and the snow and bench photograph I used the pearl surface.
The steel girder photograph was cropped quite heavily and printed dark and at highest contrast. The foreground was dodged a bit, while the top part was burned in. The print was then bleached back slightly, fixed and then toned to completion in Kodak Rapid Selenium Toner.
The tree and horizon photograph was printed full frame and printed darkly at moderate contrast. The intermediate area was dodged moderately. Short, high contrast burns were then done at each corner and in the intermediate area. The print was then bleached back moderately, fixed and then toned to completion in Kodak Rapid Selenium Toner. The colour comes from the combination of the moderate bleach back and then selenium toning.
The snow and bench photograph was printed full frame using almost equal amounts of grade 1.5 and grade 3 settings, save I dodged the trees differing amounts during each exposure. The print was then bleached back slightly, fixed and then toned lightly in Kodak Rapid Selenium Toner.
My fallen tree trunk photograph was also cropped quite heavily and printed fairly dark at moderately high contrast. The corners were then slightly burned in at low contrast. The print was then bleached back moderately, fixed and then toned to completion in Kodak Rapid Selenium Toner. The colour also comes from the combination of the moderate bleach back and then selenium toning.
