Sorry .. sent before I meant it to go.
I can see that the development is contrasty, but it is almost perfect
for some scenes, and I'll bet it could be tamed in others with either
a softer paper or a little PS (a la Moose). I actually like the look
a lot and it appears that the film has a good "toe" and holds a lot of
detail in the shadows. The photos of the two men appear too dark --
almost more of an exposure problem than development problem -- again,
easily fixed probably. I really enjoyed all the photos. You have a
cat Nathan would be proud of, and the various buildings along the
shore are wonderful to view. No 8 is one I returned to for some
reason. I like the square building and the reflection. Thanks for
sharing.
