[Leica] two dogs and a kid...and lots of changes

As always, any and all comments welcomed.

Puppies are active.  I'm not sure if this works or not.  But I like it at
first glance:

This violates all sorts of rules.  But I think I like it:

This was my first roll shooting Ilford Delta 400 (usual was Neopan 400).  So
in the spirit of violating rules, I changed all kinds of variables.
Developed in Xtol 1:1 (usual was 1:3).  Developed at 20 C (usual was 70 F).
Used Photographers' Formulary Fix TF-4 (usual was Kodak RapidFix).

I was runing out of fix, so I got a new fix.  B&H didn't have Neopan in
stock when I needed to order new film, so I bought a brick of Delta 400.
Used "The Massive Dev Chart" for starting times
(http://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.html).  They didn't show times for
Delta 400 for 1:3, so I decided to try 1:1.  And instead of converting their
times from 20 C to my usual 70 F, I changed my temp.

Oh, and I also used a new tank.  Bought a smaller tank so I didn't have to
either do 4 rolls or waste Xtol.  And used one fix instead of my usual
two-bath fixing.  I've decided to use fix 1-shot, same as developer, based
on my last experience of having little black dots on Acros when re-using the
same fix.
