I like the girl (and the way she walks), the movement, the background and the overall bluish tint of the photograph. I think it adds to the coolness of the shot :smile: But, I don't like the cropped foot. Did you cross processed the film yourself?
 
No, I didn't cross process myself. Though I always process my own b&w films, I don't (know how to) process C41 and E6. I leave that to the lab.
Thanks for your comment btw!
 
I LOVE this image. She's owns this street, goddess of all she surveys.

How do you get them to 'cross process' for you ?
..flame shields up

Happened to notice this looks cool cropped just above her shoulder as well.
 
I'm going to be inviting a problem here by asking this question, but I'll ask anyway -

What were you looking for when you chose to cross-process this film? Frankly, I'm not thrilled with the look of these images from the false-color perspective. It just doesn't work for me. I've seen other work done the opposite direction - e-6 film cross-processed in C-41 chems, that I liked the alternate colors better.
 
@Jersey Vic: thanks! Some labs don't want to cross process but others do, sometimes at an extra charge. Just find a lab that doesn't have a problem with it, preferrably one that doesn't charge extra. This was C41 to E6, but if you do the other way around don't forget to tell them NOT to color correct the pictures.
 
@TheFlyingCamera: this was my very first experiment with cross processing. What I was (still am) looking for is unexpected color shifts, sometimes it works out great they say, so that made me curious, especially after some examples I saw here and there.

So I decided to take my Lomo out for some street shooting in the streets of Amsterdam. I agree with you in that the alternate colors of E6->C41 processing are more interesting in a way than C41->E6. So that will be my next experiment.
