My apologies for the late post.

First, thank Mike. The print I meant for the exchange was the dead trees. I threw the second in because I was looking for some feed-back on it. I was quite pleased when I took it, but wonder if there's just too much empty space particularly lower left. The toning brings up some texture in the water but it's still quite subtle.

Next, many thanks to MartyNL for a really beautiful pair of prints. It's the same image (of a Cumbrian Church interior) on two different papers. One is Ilford warm-tone fibre, which I'm quite familiar with. The0 second is on Adox Lupex paper. It's a chloride contact paper, so very slow. Marty manged to persevere and make an enlargement from his 6x12 negative.
The two renderings are quite different. The Ilford WT is really lovely, whilst the Adox is cooler in tone and the shadows look rather more 'open'.
Marty, I hope you don't mind but my better half wants to frame and hang one of these. Is that OK?
One again, many thanks for the prints.
