Please critique! (As much as a scan will allow at least)

Hi Camden, I take on board that you can see more detail on the print than in
the scan, but I also wonder (with Loris)whether this is a suitable
"marriage" of surface and emulsion? According to some earlier posts on this
list, Kallitype is almost identical to platinum if skilfully printed. Why
not save that luscious platinum for a smooth paper that will show it off to
its best advantage? I've printed silver emulsion on several surfaces, and
found that the detail gets lost on the roughest. I tried Japanese paper. The
emulsion worked well technically but the prints looked awful. Not that yours
does (she says hastily), but I think you could do better by that image on a
smoother surface. My daughter sent me a card for my birthday this year with
three Moulin Rouge-clad dancing frogs. Inside it says "Just because you
can-can doesn't mean you should-should". I'm keeping it in mind :)

Cheers
Kate
