    I'd make a cyanotype of it. It's kinda fractal looking and like a sun print of a flower/plant gone wild.

    Selenium toner. I dilute mine 1:7 with 2-4 minutes in the solution. As the solution weakens your times may lengthen. You should visually inspect each print you tone as its in the tray. Constant agitation, Old clothes as the stain does not come out, well vented room, and you must ware non permeable gloves as selenium is toxic heavy metal which stays in your body if ingested!

    water bath at 90degrees to temper print. nelson gold toner for 1min 10-20 seconds rinse. bleach at 10% of normal dilution. 10-15 seconds. rinse. thiocarbinide working with A1 B5 ratios 1-2 min. wash. If you want you can also tritone wit selenium, but I found the differences in duo and tri are less separation of color between highlights and darks. Someone is going to tell you to go from less noble to higher with the toners. I found that by toning with gold first, it keeps the brown out. Gold tones from top down, brown and selenium from bottom up. Is this what you had in mind. not cold, not brown sky, and warm tree.
