beautiful!
teacher's pose adds it all, and fact that she is also holding flower
and too soft focus

Hi Again Carlos - I think the grain works in the print - what did not work out was that the print was way too dark from the printer that did the large versions. Need to understand the color profile business better I think...

Hi Stefan? printers do a good job in the large frame? I thought about this picture, came back to it, and wondered if the grain worked esthetically with the inherent lyricism (softness) implicit in the image. Not here so much but with the final hard copy?

Great catch, Stefan, especially - as you mentioned - the image of the teacher reflected in the background! The little girl's expression is great, too - a little bit apprehensive, but with a certain confidence as well. To me it looks a little dark overall, notably around the lower part of her face, even though her shoulder is brightly lit. All that said, it's a great shot! :)
Sorry I haven't been commenting recently!

Lovely portrait Stefan, yes the duplicity is nice, one could even say that perhaps it's a look into the future...I like the composition, and her natural pose...and the expression of concentration and discipline that you've captured in this image....Not having experience working with film per se film, I can't really speak to the graininess, but I would love to see this image without it as well just for comparison....Wonderful image..:)Linda
Thank you too Stefan for you kind comment on my image...macros are one of my favorites....and I love that lens...:) Linda

Thanks Carlos - I am aware of neatimage but I haven't tried it. I use a function called grain reduction in my scanning software (Epson) and it brings it to this level (can't really see individual grains at this size of course). Using 3200 film certainly means lots of grain, and I like it, but I'll see how I feel about it with this subject matter printed large.

Probably be just fine Stefan but I thought the grain was deliberate here?
there are several easy approaches to eliminate grain but you may know all about it! Also you can pick a very effective, a very easy tool to use (and free) ? But again you may also know all about it! Just in case visit ?Neat Image? here? www .neatimage.com/index.html?37
As you will discover ?Neat? must be used tactfully ? easy to go overboard.
Cheers

No worries Carlos - you are not the first (or the last). Maybe the first to notice and say something :-) Just dropped this off for some big prints so I'll soon see how the grain works out in a larger format.

Hi Stephen. What a lovely, charming shot ;-) ! I just ?know? you were delighted when you first saw the negative?
(a larger presentation would flesh out the rich background candy)
Regards
