These pictures remind me of the series of Las Meninas re-interpretations by Pablo Picasso of the original by Diego Velazquez.

Very nice indeed. Do you feel that the scan of the print actually is more pleasing than the scan of the negative ? To me it seems so, but I don't understand why... 

I also have the feeling that prints shows the gradation of the negatives better than the negative scans.
In addition, when scanning negatives, the grain is usually overemphasized and the scan looks often a bit harsh.

Thanks Kl@aus, I think perhaps I like the print more, though perhaps not 🙂 . Not sure why either but I think the brightness is more true to the actual scene than is the case in the negative scan. It was a chilly day but very bright. I could have dodged the top left a bit in the print as I lost a bit of detail on the roof and the branches. Here are the two together, neg scan first:

I absolutely agree. Maybe it depends on the subject. And the mood..The scan from the negative seems-compared to the print--a bit harsher; as "verwackelt" says. And the tint of the paper provides a certain amount of vintage look, adding to the content in this case.

Wonderful scene Steve. Did you use a filter for the sky?

Thank you for explaining it. It makes perfect sense, and you also sent me on a Googling chase to find images of the lagoon. I'm beginning to 'see' what you had in mind.

This is an earlier version, which is darker, so when I turned up the volume on the color, I thought, "Oh, now, that's bright." Backwater has simultaneously two meanings; one is the stagnant current of a river, yet another meaning has to do with a peaceful place of quiet tranquility. I live next to the Colorado Lagoon, which has an outlet to the ocean. For a long time the ecology was mismanaged, but now it's a wetland sanctuary. The setting sun reflects off the water, and it's "bright." This is what kickstarted Backwater Bright.

It's a tricky decision, can I say that I like both?

The weather is like yesterday. However, I just came back from the woods with a basket of blushers (amanita rubescens) and cauliflower mushroom (sparassis crisps). There was quite a bit fructyfting out to the soil. Tomorrow should be good for a toadstool hunt :)

Amanita rubescens is a steep choice. Too close to amanita panthera for me. In the long run. Sparassis crisps are nice, pretty rare but not too rare.  Last year I found a 1,2 kg example... It is more a habitat or a complete cosmos than a single mushroom...   Where I live, Steinpilz= Boletus edulis is the most common edible mushroom. Not bad.

Good luck ! 🤤
