    Beautiful work, Tri! But I always wonder why it's called "platinum print" when platinum itself is just a small percentage… Wouldn't it rather be "palladium print"? :)

    Wow, a beautiful print! I am a bit surprised at the *green* tone, though - is it really that green as I see it on my screen? I know gold toning as turning prints more towards purple.
