Very high contrast makes a striking result. There's just enough faint toning coming through in the surrounds to give a sense of a bigger space. It certainly looks tailor made for printing. Congrats on the win!

Great result John - what a good portrait. As Nigel says, just enough toning in the dark areas to show the bigger space

I recall you first posting this one. Lovely tribute to one's mum (who must be more pleased than you are!)

Pleased to report my print of this won the ADAPS Annual Print competition, Portraits section, and also the best overall print award. It was shot on a Pentax MX-1 in the chapel at Arley Hall and shows my Mum in reflective mood.
