quadtoned again. i like this technique a whole bunch. i also played with pattern overlays for hte first time, two different ones set to overlay and multiply, at low opacity. cool.
i agree, germaine, about the flat ground. but, sadly, it was windswept snow - absolutely flat and even!
If this were shown to me - just handed to me as a print - I'd swear it was taken 50 years ago or so. Tones and textures work REALLY well together here.
