Lovely. The only modification I can suggest is trying it in Xtol 1:3 which will give you a mite more speed and highlight control, and exagerrate the sharpness somewhat. At the risk of a slight grain increase. Shooting in contrasty situations like this it can help. - -- John Brownlow http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
