Two bighorn sheep play on a cliff in the Badlands of South Dakota. I discovered this old wet-plate photo in my files from back in April of 2014.

Great subject Jerry --- it pays to thumb through one's wet plate files now and again.

Just a matter of personal taste, the tone seems a bit weak to me --- I would probably opt for a more traditional ruddy sepia.

I like it! Reminds me of an old illustration from the 1800's.

Great moment Jerry. I think the tone is a little to pink for my taste, but that's just me. Love the interaction and all the detail in the grass.

I like the overall effect-creates a nice mood. Agree with Jackie on the pinkish tone though- would prefer a more neutral color.

Actually it is peach. The program comes with many preset colors that can be changed to what ever the editor likes.
Attached is an earlier version finished with the older Exposure 5.

I love the content and composition of this one Jerry, and I'm loving your 'wet plate' images! I actually prefer your peach colour tone to the repost.
