Hi, Paul, lovely image.
Was this taken with an 11.5" Verito, did you find one?

Thank you. Yes, this was made with the 11.5" Verito. I was offered the lens in a private sale, from a friend.

I recognize the fact that 95% of viewers are not going to like this kind of work, but that's ok. Feel free to call it "pictorialist shite" if it makes you happy. This may well be my last post - I'm just about done with forums these days. So much griping and criticism. Yeah, its a Verito, as if it's not obvious. FP4+ in Pyrocat HD.

Paul,

Love this picture! Don't leave the forum, please.

this is a 14-15 minute exposure on polymax FB paper with a 4x5box camera ( about 4pm ).. it's a river that's dammed up several times for mill ponds, this is after 1 dam and at the foot of a millpond. it was developed in Sumatra coffee with some developer I call black dust, it's somewhere between ansco130 and d72... oxidized ( in a container for 2-3 years ) perfect for paper negatives

Very fine, Tom. I like the subtlety of your compositions.

I do not recognize your experience if it comes to comments on your posts and on the photo's you present here (but maybe you don't mean this necessarily about your own posts but about the general culture of photo or any imagery forums). I have liked about all off your work, although I only responded when your posts were outstanding. The image you present now may not illicit immediate applause indeed, but the meaning or value of artistic work cannot always be judged or even digested in a second. Maybe it's a good step for you and for your creations to leave this forum to get the grips on what you want to make, instead of being under the influence what an imagined public would applause for. For me, your work has been very inspiring, that's for sure.
