Though I've never been to Wyoming, I love the wide-open country too, and I love this picture! Beautiful Harley. The crop really adds to the sweeping, cinematic feel.Quote:

My prints have a lot of relief, thus the image is made up a wide range on thicknesses of the gelatin layer. As the gelatin dries, it shrinks and pulls at the paper as it does so. The different thicknesses of the gelatin across the image means that this pulling is not even. A little time in a hot mount press will take care of it.
You can imagine with the print below, that the dark redwoods are actually much thicker bands of gelatin. But the warping is not much greater than a standard fiber-based silver gelatin print...it is just not as even as Silver gelatin prints' gelatin layer is uniform.
