Bob, lots of planes and interesting shapes. Obviously a spectacular spot.
I think maybe it could benefit from more contrast in the slopes area. Seems 
a little flat from the glare and (I guess), blown
spray/sand?

Folks -

Picked up the roll of Pan F that I shot in Big Sur which was  
processed in PMK Pyro; here's a quick computer hack of a home neg  
scan to serve as a demo for the printer (also good for answering the  
question "How does that 21 Voigt handle strong backlight):

Suggestions are highly solicited.  This version seems to gets the  
"blinding sun" thing pretty well.

Second is cropped, highlight/shadowed, central highlight removed and  
has been generally "tamed"

Besides any and all positive & negative takes I definitely wanna know  
about toning, paper choices & the like on this one, 'cause all those  
greys look kindof bland on a computer screen.
