I showed this to my wife, it took her a couple of minutes but then she got it. Her comment was "Bob Ross would call that a Happy Accident".

Hi Matt,
Really like the subtle, almost desaturated color in combination with the soft focus lens. Well done. Would like to hear more about the reversal process and look forward to seeing more of your prints.
Hopefully I will actually be making a print (Pt/pd) of this image tonight or the next couple of days. Ansel photographed this rock, as have thousands (millions?) of others, and me...more than once. When AA photographed it (Range of Light) that chunk wasn't missing...someday the rock will go missing.

Platinum/palladium print eventually

That thing is just begging to be photographed!
Yeah...and it sits right next to the road...just a little bit of walking because there is no parking right there (first world problem). I did not print that image tonight -- I printed the other 5x14 above.
I also printed this image below -- taken from the Merced River bed -- I'll see how it dries.
