For good or bad but for all time, this is my very first print from my very first 4x5 shot.

First or not, it looks like you know what you are doing! And more interesting than mine - that was a bookshelf.
I still have to remind myself to take the time to study the whole screen in detail if circumstances permit. Even 5x4 is too big to really take in at a glance. And it isn't as though the flowers are going anywhere
'Seems outstanding to me for a first & dang good for any after. 'Good thing I can't afford another format - this would be very encouraging. Bravo Larry!
