no seriously

As far as I can see from the scan there are no blown highlights or drowned shadows, so, well done with the split grade printing. And the grain is surprisingly contributive.

This is not a suitable photo to learn split grade printing from. It needs to have areas of light and shade, perhaps a landscape shot or a street scene would offer more scope.

I like the shot, and the grain I think adds something to the photo. One serious-looking girl all right!

Regardless of the technique you chose to print with, it is a very good portrait.

Perhaps you could show us a straight or single grade print, for comparison.

thanks all for the comments - I have uploaded a scan of a single grade (grade 1) print of the same image for comparison http://www.apug.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=35964
