One of the things I think I'm learning is *really* how important the final "printing" steps are to a successful result. In particular, Douglas Sharp's "printing" of my Aldeburgh fort scene was a real eye-opener. I've paid more attention to the printing process in my most recent postings and the shots are getting a more positive reaction.
