I do have one question about Kodak BW400CN. This, and the rest of the roll, all have this beautiful warm tint. Is this the product of the processing and scanning, or does the orange base have something to do with it. Either way, I like it

It's an artifact from whatever machine, or whoever person scanned the film. BW400CN is intended to be a black and white film that prints well on RA-4 color paper, hence the orange mask. When you scan it for exposing that paper, or optically enlarge it on RA-4, that orange tint helps the color paper maintain a neutral b&w picture. If you scanned the negative as a positive, and then inverted it in software, it would look green (complimentary color of orange), and not this warm tone that you show, which has been added to the file at the scanning stage. It's a very nice picture! I love her expression.
