Thanks! Yeah, I tried this a few ways, and I didn't like it so much when I tried to wrestle it into the kind of darker, more-saturated and contrasty look I usually end up with. Reminds me a little of... crap, I can't remember her name. But there's a woman I associate mostly with portraits of women in kind of gauzy draping, and with muted color. Some of her prints were in one of the NY photo labs in the '90s or 'early '00s, and she might have been on the faculty of The Workshops in Maine... who is that? Anyway, I associate her with delicate colors. And this picture just seemed to want to be that way. > Without the colors I'd not have that.... > Liking the colors. I tried it in gray.
