Difficult to judge from the web sizes of course. In any event I prefer the texture and grain to be present in the girl's clothing and the wooden structure, all complementing the light and atmosphere. I am always hesitant to suggest variations to photographers much more skilled and experienced than I will ever be. Maybe it's useful to receive a variety of feedback anyway? Was your intent with the negative clarity to soften the rendering of the girl's skin? If so perhaps you could experiment with local application (via adjustment brush) of the effects you are seeking? For my 2 Lempira worth, I think that the original is very fine in all of its TMaxiness. Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman 2010/1/26 Tina Manley <images at comporium.net> > Thanks, Richard.
