Analyzing a Bleached Print of a Photograph

So this is the print I been letting sit in my ferricyanide for the past little while. I finally got it to sort of do what I wanted it to do, which was to free up that the bottom of her skirt and her shoes. And this little black hole area, where I didn't really expose right. This negative that I printed this image from has some problems too. So this kind of all ties back to when you have a negative that's exposed properly, life in the darkroom is fun. But when you have something that basically what happened to this negative was that fog had hit it. It's a four by five negative, and so this whole area got is hit with the light and detail. So I'm trying to bring this out. Every couple of years I try to work on this image just to see if I can get it. So it looks like today I kind of got that black to open up a little bit there so I can see the detail. So what I'm going to do right now is I'm just going to wash this off, and I'm going to put it back in the sepia. And we're going to see if it changed it any. It might've, I might've been able to pull that out there. Guess I'll find out in a few seconds.
