[alt-photo] Re: another new gum...

Do you really think so, Keith?  It seems to me I've seen some  
wonderful gum prints that are rich and full of color that don't  
actually cross that fine line into muddiness.  I also see this image  
(subject matter) open to various "techniques" and options.  Obviously,  
a different mood would be evoked if printed differently,  but I can  
see this image printed both richer and darker-- even, and especially,  
in the bottom third (without evolving into muddiness) and becoming a  
print that's is as interesting and seemingly "perfect" as this one.
