    This was a really tough print in the darkroom and I don't think it's just right yet. Any feedback is appreciated.

    On a second deep look, the brush is pretty blurry in the top-center of the photo, but I don't know if that's something you can do anything about in the darkroom phase or not. The lightness on the left side is a little intense, it feels like the contrast of the leaves starts to disappear about 1" (on my screen) in from the left side, not sure if that was an intentional artistic choice or not. I like it, personally.

      Thanks! The scene was very high contrast and because of that the print was very difficult to make. The lightness on the left was not intentional, just a side effect of trying to get the contrast correct on the center of the image. I don't think I can fix the brush, that's probably a depth of field issue. I'm definitely going to try and print this image again once I get some more photo paper in. I'm learning some more advanced techniques like split grade printing that I'll try.
