Newly Completed 4x5 Fallen Trees Ambrotype

Over the last few days I have been completing some Ambrotypes by adding the blackening layer. One of the better Ambros made is a shot of a fallen tree in Banff National Park. The black acrylic rubber area on the back of the plate is not smooth and beautiful like last time, not sure why. Maybe I poured the layer too thick, maybe the mix was a bit different or maybe it is because I added a varnish layer to the plate this time. With experience I will work this problem out. The tree shot is lovely, a moment caught INSIDE the glass 3D, got to love that! Am loving wet plate more and more.
