I love the subject, but the contrast appears too high for me. Is this what you were going for? There appears to be a lot of dust specks on the image. Are these on the print or just on the scanner glass?

I agree about the contrast, have you tried it on a lower grade?

Thanks for your comment.
Looking at my print against the monitor image it does seem that the scanner has upped the contrast - that being said, having had the print around for a few days I think that it could do with being dropped half a grade, or perhaps burn in a little at the high lights.
All in all I'm a bit chuffed with this pic as it was my first go at close up for years and the first roll of Foma I've tried.

You have every reason to be chuffed, critique is one thing, getting the shot is another thing entirely .
