This reducer does add some graininess ... but in fact that would probably look pretty good on those rocks anyway.
Just a thought. Hope it helps!
Congratulations on your image.
When faced with the tonal problems of the rocks, I often throw water onto them if it is practical - or have someone else do it for me - prior to taking the image. It cuts down the higher tonal values on the rocks themselves and makes printing that much easier.

Yes that would help.Quote:
