I find this photograph very appealing; a magnificent vista. A good composition as the river meanders into the distant mountains. A very good balance of light and dark tones with neither blocked up or blown out. I'll bet it would look best printed large. Thanks

The darkness around the top and sides focuses your attention to the lighted cobblestones and into the image. I like it very much.

I was temped to soak this print in selenium toner but I kind of like the

warm tones. Any thoughts?

Another view of snowdrifts that caught my eye...

Interesting Snow Drifts Wouldn't you say?

So you're lying on the floor with your camera staring at your girlfriend's bare crotch. Now I'm sure this is a pleasant way to pass time and I'm not a prude, but this is artistry? craftsmanship? Worship?

One of my newer experiments with Lith printing. A photo that I would

normally print to cold tones. Any comments?

Hi Wayne,

 

I think this photo has the most interest in the mountain on the right and with the very small person standing in the center mid distance. I like it as a "portrait view", almost a square with the mountain on the left removed except for the cliff at it's base.

I offered up a couple of these Lith Printed Photographs last week

for critique/comment and ratings. Oddly, to me at least, the ratings

varied clear across the board. Due to the nature of the process,

lith photographs go warm toned and this particular Kentmere paper

results in very grainy and coarse dark tones. I normally don't print

for warm selenium/sepia tones on snowscapes but these results did

appeal to me. I was looking for feedback from those of you who have

a minute or two regarding the lith look for snowscapes in general

and, of course, these in particular.

Selenium toned lith prints tend to warm browns on Kentmere VC FB

Warmtone. Do you think this works for a "snowscape"?

This lith print is fully toned in Selenium to this brown/sepia tone.

Does this tone work for a snowscape?

Any comments?

Lately, I've been printing snowscapes on Kentmere's Warmtone FB VC

paper and toning in selenium. I like the cold blue blacks on the

warm off-white paper. I think it works, what do you think?

Very slight diffusion with contrast filter when printed. I think it

works for this photo. Do you?

I like this photograph very much. The warm tones and "grainy" blacks and mid-tones remind me of a lith photograph. At first the photo appears diffuse but as you look closely the pavement comes into sharp focus. I also find the inverted shadow a pleasing composition with a nice balance.

I thought this old stove might make a good photo. What do you think?

Lith Print. Very slight bleach in fericyanide and partial

redevelop/tone in thiocarbamide (sepia) for split warm tones and cold

blacks.

This is a very natural and appealing portrait. I might suggest cropping out the jewelry table at the bottom. Next time try setting your aperture to a small F-Stop and focus on the woman in order to blurr out the background. This will emphasize your subject. Ray
