So from last summer holidays, my good friend Sylvain and his honey bee family (he makes honey, as well as hydromel) in Prats-de-Mollo La Preste.

This one really has emphasis from about zones VI-VIII (again, based on an uncalibrated simple office grade but fairly nice LCD monitor.)
Even the foliage in the more central area around the family is of higher tonality than foliage normally prints, which gives it a wonderful open, airy look. The darker edges (whether that's just how the light was or it's from very skillful edge burning doesn't matter) give the impression of a "light bubble" in the surrounding forest.
The more I look at this one the more I see and like.

Bobpin: really nice!!! If this is 'only' a test shot, I wonder what a 'real' shot will look like!
Maurits: I like this type of portraits. Although I think the lighting of the bike repair man was slightly better...
Also a humble contribution from my side to this thread... Meet my sister :)

It's a lovely portrait, Bob. You are definitely pushing the envelope for dilute developers! I've always suspected 1ml of 510-Pyro concentrate will develop a roll or 8x10 sheet of film, regardless of dilution, but an 11x14 sheet at 1:1000 with rotary development is truly extreme. I would worry about the developer oxidizing before it could do its work. Was there a lot of general stain? Fascinating!
