I frequently end up liking it over the course of working on the image, and often leave it tinted that way. On this one, I desaturated it somewhat, but I still prefer the slightly warm cast to a pure greyscale image. (If I'm in the darkroom, my natural inclination is always to use Ilford's warm-tone paper, so I'm at least sort of consistent.) Thanks for the kind words! ...Ron On 4/17/04 10:45 AM, "Sam" <sam@osheaven.net> wrote: > I adore the crop you selected (To heck with full-frame if a crop works > better).
