Although not a cyanotype, this is my best attempt with this image to date:

Flatiron. Oakland, CA.



I developed it this afternoon and decided that it needed a little more time in the sun. Another 1 minute in the sun and a few drops of potassium dichromate in the 2d bath made a marked improvement but, alas, I overdid it in the selenium and it bleached back. I think the pop I'm seeing in the selenium after a few seconds is really from the thiosulfate component and not from the selenium which bleaches the image down. So next time I'm planning on leaving the selenium out and see what happens. No contrast boost in PS was used in the above scan - it made it look worse! Just edge sharpening which didn't seem to have any effect enen though I applied it two or three times.

BTW, I'm now a fan of hard borders over the brush strokes. The 3/4" white border around the image looks nice.
