Distance about 3 feet. Tripod used. Sun behind light clouds, late afternoon. Film was from the infamous emulsion batch 09256. Many small specks on print, but not visible at 60dpi scan.
Don't know about the small specks but what I see I really like! It's kind of a paradox pic for me it's full of thorns and yet I would call it a "comfort picture", I feel good looking at it.
