Great job. I love it.

Super photo. Just lovely !

Are we allowed to post scanned negatives here ?

A few years ago, I posted a few and was hounded off the site.

@Ken: I don't know. I will see what the rules for uploading say. However my job in PS is only the same as I would do in the darkroom. And I guess if one scan a printed version one still have to use the levels a bit to ensure the black point is where it should be.

@Ken I continue after finding this when uploading the image:

---
All images posted should be a representation of 100% traditional work, typically negative scans or print scans produced from a 100% traditional workflow.
---

And since I have only used the same procedure as when I work in my darkroom I guess the image is ok.
But thanks for telling me anyway, because I don't want to be hounded off this wonderful site

That is simply a great portrait.
