Straight Prints
The last test print at 50 seconds indicated that that would be a good time to use as the base for the final print. At this stage it is advantageous to produce a straight print at the desired grade:

Note that no dodging and and no burning in was completed for this print. From this print we can asses what manipulation is needed. The two things that I decided to do were:

1. dodge the left hand side of the flower head to make the tone of the head more balanced.

2. burn in the background and leaves so that the image has a more defined focal point.
