Okay, Alpha, I tried your suggestion and guess what-- I like it this way :-) Actually this is how it came out in the contact print because it was part of the roll with lots of daylight shots (except for the absence of the vertical light, which I airbrushed away). I didn't find out that the pic had some detail, like the background for instance, until I scanned the negative. I was never able to print this in large format before. Thanks for the comments and suggestions,a nd compliments! :-) (*
