OK - for one thing, I over-processed this one a bit. One of my problems is that these proofs were not focused correctly in the enlager. (I've got to find some good B&W processing. My last experience was even **worse**!) I attempted to 'grit it up a bit' with the post processing. Now that I look at it again, I'm thinking "OY! what did I do?". So - in a nut shell we've got blurry enlargement on a cheap scanner, over-processed to try to compensate. Here you see a detail - untouched, except for .JPG'ing - from the original scan. Notice that the boy stood pretty still, but the girl moved quite a bit during the 1 sec. exposure. If I were to (..and I **will**) bring this neg' to a good B&W 'salon' (once I find one), it would be a *beautiful* print. Talk with ya'all soon. Thanks, Joe
