On the right there is an ugly-looking male monster with his mouth shut looking at a female monster with her eyes shaded who has an open mouth and a raised prominent upper lip out of which comes the stream of water.

Anyone else see this?
 
Funny...
This is my first sheet film tray developing and it could have been a part of an Harold LLoyd's film. I prepared the water tray, the developer, the stop and the fix; after carefully reading The Book (The Negative, AA), preparing everything needed, visualized any position in the darkroom then take out film from film holders and put 4 negatives in the developer thinking it was water; after counting few minutes put them in the stop and started the timer for developing time; at about 2' realized it was stop so decided to go back to developer, but didn't know the time, so went on till the end of 11' plus "something", then stopped, washed and dryed. Fortunately the exposures were taken with the same level of skillness and accuracy, showing camera light leaks (probably due to film holder's malposition) and other technical mistakes, so the result was two negatives almost 3 stop overexposed and two almost 2 stop under.
This is my entry in LF; the previous 12 negatives were all destroyed by tank developing. I was confident that putting the negative in an empty film tank as the Jobo 1000 and developing like a rotary thank could allow a proper way to develop sheet film. After destroying 12 negatives I understood it's better not to invent the wheel. so I went back to the main road and got a result.
 
Lot of ways to crop this. It looks like a good negative. Sorry its late and I would say something more intelligent other than I like it.
