Love it...great capture and the clothes..so 1978
I know little Falls. I remember when the Caldwells were woods. All so different now
 
This is what I want to see at my photographs , excellent tonality , texture and sharpness. Everything is very well balanced. Composition is excellent. Technically and artistically perfect. It might be summaron , when you start to see these quality from your Leica , you would be more adventerous and photographs goes better and better. Did you scan the print or did you scan the negative ? If it is 1970s , I think you scanned the print. Paper is the best and We lost it also.
I am seeing other pictures at corner and they are looking perfect also.
 
Most excellent! The mood is fantastic.
 
Thank you all for thoughts. When I have a lot of scanning to do, my friend lets me use his Canon 5D on his copy stand with a 55 mm macro lens and polarized light and a linear polarizing filter. This set up was created originally for slides. (Remember slides? How quaint now.) This was shot that way. There was an abandon quarry near my apartment and I'd take my daughters there to horse around. The image is 8 x 12 on 11 x 14 paper.

As I type this I realize I made a mistake when identifying the paper. This is a later print from 1990s and it is on Agfa Multicontrast Classic, in a liquid paper developer that the lab where I worked used. All my gelatin silver stuff is selenium toned with a few exceptions. I printed this on a condenser enlarger, negative in a glass carrier, 80 mm Nikon EL. In those days I shot Tri-X at 200 and cut back on my developing. For low contrast scenes like this, I boosted the contrast in the printing by raising the filtration and using a less dilute print developer.
