Like other posters, I believe that I would either add a small curves adjustment to bring a few of the hightlights closer to white, or dodge just a bit in the eyes and the foreheads to bring the values up just a touch. If you look at Weston's work and Salgado's there are delicate highlights in the images. But then again, I have been trying to find just where zone IX turns into zone X as displayed on the web. I think that there is a cultural divide coming from those of us still using CRT's and almost everyone else using LCD displays. My feeling is that the greater brightness of the LCD is changing what is acceptable in the electronic community. Don don.dory@gmail.com On 8/9/05, R.
