Even though I tend to print in a "punchy" way I like these ones pretty much the way they are except that perhaps the scans could use a little tweaking to intensify the black. Still, I think Steve has handled the bright Mediterranean Sun admirably and to my eyes, these look like they have a wonderful tonal range. Great work, Steve! Has anyone else noticed that almost nobody (including me, usually) seems to print with softer contrast anymore? Just take a look at a print from the forties to see what I mean. Is this just a change in fashion? Maybe some of the more experienced Luggers can comment. Simon Stevens
