Forest shadows

Film was over-processed in warm water, resulting in a very contrasty

negative. Printing required a 00 filter, some pre-flashing of the

paper, and some heavy burning in some areas. The contrast and tones

remain a bit strange, making for an eerie picture. The print was

slightly split toned in sepia, for cold blacks and warm whites, then

selenium for some extra punch (it doesn't carry very well on a

computer monitor).

Lovely natural setting and pose - the shadow of the tree on her back helps to integrate her with the environment. The high contrast works well to give a slightly IR-style dreamlike appearence and you've kept it nicely under control (but still fiddling around with those chemicals, I see!).

Best wishes, Jonathan
