What a great photograph, you have captured the situation perfectly. And the neg looks great, the separation of the subject from his surroundings is outstanding.
Thank you all for the nice words!
Steve, I am ashamed to say I haven't used Ilford films in a decade and after 2 rolls(1 fp4 and 1 hp5) I am hooked. The negs from both rolls are perfect and I was just messing around.
