Dry down in Platinum Peints

Here is the effect of dry down for a Pt-Pd print on Reverre paper using Potassium Oxalate developer. The blacks and contrast is more muted dullish when dry but there is an extended long, beautiful tonal range, characteristic of Platinum-Palladium in the dry print. That tonal range is difficult to see in this capture,  real life viewing is a must for Platinum prints! 

The print is quite beautiful, a subtle ness that is quite alluring, I like it.
