As in the previous plate, nice how the so-called imperfections frame the image. I like the suggestion of a contrast as chaos surrounds the ordered repeating pattern of the cityscape. If you want to reduce the diagonal ridges, you might want to mix a collodion solution that compensates for hot temps… then you’d be making serendipity more predictable, and what fun is that?!

Man, that looks awesome. It almost looks like a painting.
In case I haven’t told you lately, dude, you’re an awesome photographer.

Love the dark world that envelopes it. The negative of sunshine rays skirting a dark cloud.
