Description

This print, believe it or not, was my very first color separation print. I used an old 4x6 inch print of a thunderhead I shot a few years earlier behind my neighbor's house. I wasn't sure exactly what the best way to print the image was, so I beefed up the saturation levels to maximum and darkened the lightness of the cloud bringing out the subtle colors within. I made a second copy simultaneously, but it was stained and completely ruined at the end.
