Hi Gerry,

Yes! after that exercises I went to the LIFE!

As you know the rendition is quite different from a wet print than a scanned 
one, I have in front of my eyes the original print and it is much more rich, 
I?ve do very few adjustments with LR on the scanned one, probably I shall 
invest more time? and even so when printed will be still different from the 
darkroom copy! 

Thanks you very much for your opinion and comment

Cheers
Lluis
