I saw that and would love to have a print of THAT :-)

I don't want to drag in to film vs. digital again, but I am learning
to do dodging and burning the old fashion ways again lately (last did
it in HS), and there is certain satisfaction of wiggling fingers and
adjusting this and that and get different and presumably better
results.

Adams is oft-quoted as having said the negative is the score and the
print is the performance, and I think this is actually one of the
things that make darkroom printing enjoyable for some. There is always
an element of imprecision, of improvisation. Live vs, recording....
