Trying to get all of the elements there with some richness to the grays. But to keep her in the scene, you can't darken the background or increase contrast. I like the subject matter (and suspect that the subject was ordering a funnel cake...yummy), but the profusion of light grays gives me a Verichrome Pan flashback. ;-) That said, I love the string of Mamiya TLR silver halide images you've given us of late. I had a C330 back in the early 70's, but could NOT use it for street photography. It was just too big, heavy, and awkward, even with the grip attached. I have since gotten a few Rolleiflex TLRs, and they are equally a killer for SP, at least for me. I even convinced myself that Daniel Ridings' great TLR shots were possible because the sun was so muted at his latitudes.
