Hi Peter, I agree, I had to burn her dress, the reason? I think it could be 
over exposed, I have not mesured the light because on such circumstances the 
risc is los the moment, but it could be also a developing time mistake, I 
don?t think so because the general look of the other pictures is correct, 
but with this film I?ve experimented a different process, the film is Adox 
Silvermax 100, some reviews talk about you can rate it at 200 and even 400 
at the normal developing time and procedure (dilution  1:29 on Silvermax) , 
I?ve already did this experience before and the results was not bad if you 
don?t need shadows details or grey tones, on Digital Truth Developing Chart 
I?ve saw a recommended time for developing the film rated at EI 160 making a 
dilution of 1:56 instead 1:29 and putting twice the time, I?ve add 10 
minutes stand development and probably this was too much. I have a Sekonic L 
308 hand meter, it is very good and I?m continuously changing my setting 
when I go from a light side to the shadow side, if I have the time I do a 
second measurement, if not I shoot as the camera is setm however I think I 
can improve these highlights in the darkroom.

Thanks for looking and commenting
Lluis
