I just doesn't seem to be in need of adjustments at the scanning level.

That I agree, the photo serves to demonstrates my enthusiasm for the film, not my photographic skills :-) I like the smooth tonal range. May be I have been shooting colors for too long, but seeing tones like that is sort of... "exciting" for me. Thanks for your comments about the photo itself though. Lots for me to learn. I am not too sure I will agree about printing 11x14 with 1600 all the time. Right at this moment in my photographic journey, that kind of grain would bother me, but who knows what I would think later on. Since I don't print wet per se, I am not entirely sure whether it is over expose or scanning artifact. I will play around. As for her hair, it's brunette with a very slight hint of red. Very slight. Shows up in sunlight though. Thanks. // richard (This email is for mailing lists.
