Unfortunately, it's really not there. :( The lighting was surprisingly contrasty when I took the shot...in the neg the girl's face is overexposed while the dog is underexposed...I tried to shoot for the middle, but it just wasn't there...and that's with big latitude C41 film, too! However, now that I've received your encouragement, I will scan it myself and see what more I can do with it. You never know what digital magic can be worked! Thanks for looking and commenting.
