The soft area to the left (again, in the crop) is both behind and in front of areas that are in focus because it is below both of them.

Some of the more experienced users should call me on this if I am wrong! :D

i was thinking maybe he didn't use any tilts because f32 seems to be stopped down a lot for a scene like that. i did send him a pm and ask him but he didn't reply

Not many like the "blown out" look, there's only one area in the water on the bottom that is really offensive (without detail) in person, I'll work on it when I make a larger print. Thanks.

Very dramatic, Panoral! I really like the composition and the rich tones.

Yes this particular one is from a 4x5 sheet of Delta100 in Rodinal.

Beautiful images all around, once again!

Stone, that print looks great; the composition has a dreamy quality, but there seems to be detail in all the places where it's needed.

jp, that image somehow has a presence to it, a sense of 'realness' that is emphasized by the depth of field and the way this lens renders the out of focus areas. I love the toning as well!

panoral, your images always make me want to go to Iran, and given what we hear from the country these days, that's quite an achievement!

Mike, koraks
Thanks.
