I thought it was just us Americans who were guilty of this...

Any reason for the switch to Rodinal? (not that there's anything wrong with it)

Ha ha ! well -- I thought I was getting some negs with burnt out whites on the Microphen and also wanted to see if there was any change in the definition and grain with Rodinal.At the moment, under a x6 magnifier I cannot see any 'improvement' but I will see next Darkroom Printing session --

To add a compositional comment, I think the lighting's very effective in this shot - has a "Garry Winogrand" feel to it. I like how the periphery is in shadow, but they are still important elements, while the brightest area is right at the center of action. Well-done Pete!

Yes -- the market stalls on left and Superdrug store on right cut out light leaving just a narrow shaft of diffused light in the middle.
