I'll definitely keep that "odd number" rule in mind - very interesting. As an aside, I've been searching for some books on "classical composition" - you know, painting style stuff - but haven't come across any strong recommendations. Tonally, I was surprised and pleased with the "grit" of XP2 a little under exposed. For that look, it's more convenient than souping HP5+ in Rodinal (a rather gritty combo). I'll post another "gritty" underexposed XP2 shot shortly. It's a little bit nude, but nothing too shocking for the LUG crowd, I imagine.
