Continued from [Seacoast in Spring - 10] - OK, we're done! | Starting point of the thread was [Seacoast in Spring - 1] - getting underway

I mentioned that I would show some of the proof stages, so here they are. A couple of notes:

• most of these were not intended as 'finished' (possible) prints; they were made to experiment with some particular feature (or with something 'left out' so that other parts would be clear)
• they were made in pairs, as you see them here, and in this order. The first pair was the very first 'run-through' with the blocks

If you have comments about any particular image, you can refer to it with by number - which you can see by rolling over an image (or clicking for an enlargement).

For what it's worth, I like #12 the best. The colors of the stones seems most harmonious in this version, the fish seems to have just the right amount out outline/shadow and its color seems to also be in best harmony with the rest of the image. The darks in #1 seem too dark to my eye and the contrast throws off the color balance. Best of luck. This must have been a very challenging image to produce!
