Very nice portrait! See, it wasn't hard! I wonder how you achieved that much sharpness on the print.

I really like the tones you have in this print. The composition and depth of field are great. How do you get FP4 to look this good? What speed do you like to rate it at? What developer did you use?

Beautiful image...

The film was rated at 64 ASA and developed in Pyrocat-HD 1:1:100. Its a nice combination, which works for me. I'm using rodinal at the moment as I have run out of Pyrocat and had some left. Also a good combi.

Print was split grade printed.

Cheers

Phill, this is a class-A-portrait and printed perfectly! Go for split-grade!

Beautiful portrait. I'm curious about film developement time and what enlarger you are using.

Thanks for sharing

Really a very good portrait. I enjoy very much the look in this gentleman's eyes. He's clearly having fun, loving what he is doing.
