Today I received two more wonderful cards.
First color developing attempt from Bob F. I find it very interesting and full of detail. Guy working on the rigging is well placed. Matthijs Noome Really nice presentation. I like the post card glued (and did not separate in transit like some before) on black photo paper. Very good night shot. Wow. So far I have received 36 cards of 37 send. Not bad.
I hope the #13 is as good as #12 was.

Since my last post in this thread, I've received four more cards.
Bob F. sent me the second colour print I got this round. A very nice close-up of the rigging of an old ship, the slight colour cast fits the image very well.
I really like blackmelas' print be cause of the contrast between the white robes and the dark beards and hats. Very nicely printed. Very interesting story too!
Valerie got me a very nice close-up of a spider web with dew on the silk. Did you use a Rolleinar close-up lens for the shot?
mikeg sent an atmospheric shot from Norway, the chair on the pier really makes the shot. Lovely tonality too.
What a fantastic experience! I sent 38 postcards and have received 31 so far. I've done a terrible job of documenting my impressions, however; in the past month I have quit my job, sung ~3 weeks of Christmas concerts and Messiah performances, run off to Vermont in the middle of holiday travel to marry my now-civil partner, and we are now in the process of relocating to London! Most likely I will miss Round 13 but will rejoin as soon as we are settled, have a real address, etc.

Hi Randyman
It looks like my card never arrived at your address, although I'm sure I sent one. If you pm me with a new address, I'll send another one.
For those who are keeping statistics on this round I have received 19 of 20 for Pound #12. That is a 95% "receive rate". I hope all rounds are as good.
like some before) on black photo paper. Very good night shot. Wow. So far I have received 36 cards of 37 send. Not bad.
