Quite stunning.

Quite stunning.

Whether you’re referring to the darkroom notes or final image, I agree! :D

The snow gum looks like it’s being licked by tongues of flame.

A great example of science + art.

Maris, nice methodology and a pleasure to see. Appears a lot more orderly than my scratchy darkroom notebooks but I suppose both achieve their intended means. Thanks for the look.
