NOTHING DIGITAL here. All darkroom fun and experimentation. Sandwiched negatives, solarization, scratching emulsion blah blah blah. Two negatives and the original was never touched or scratched, still perfect in everyway. Thats about it.
sounds like you have fun in the darkroom....I like the tones and clarity of the peppers...I can't say that the scratched look adds a lot to the image, though i understand the framed look, I do think it detracts from your main subject...
just curious...but how come you left a "?" with no comment, on my image "Into the Light" ?
