Thanks for all the kind words.

Resofine is a two-bath D-23 type developer that was formulated by Ron Spillman. It can be used to push about one stop without resulting in pushed-looking contrast, and the graininess is quite low too. Available from Silverprint in the UK. I've had similar results with the TD-201 formula given in Anchell and Troop, but haven't nailed it quite as well as Ron Spillman's formula.

Wonderful work Helen. You can sometimes get much better expressions (natural)with candids than "posed" studio work. The subject is more relaxed in this case. Mom will want a print of this..

A very nice photo printed just right. Different strokes for different folks. I find that most people print with more contrast than what I prefer. This is in fact a full scale print.
