what kind of times are you getting on your developing of the film? Your getting very nice tonal range and showing detail on the outside of the building with a 10 min exposure is pretty impressive.
 
Thanks all for the kind words.
Michael, I'm doing DBI (dev by inspection) processing. I set a small kitchen timer at 5 mins. Shuffle the 4 sheets of film (bottom to top) and when the kitchen timer buzzes - and subsequently usually scares the shit out of me - I turn on the faint green safelight and take a look at each neg.
Negatives like this that I've exposed for the shadows (multi-mins etc) usually are completely done developing at 5mins. So I pull them out and put em in the water stop bath, and let the other negs dev until they are ready fully marinated.

Also, this is a rather long tonal scale negative. I used 2.2mil Ferric Ox, 2.2mil Palladium, 1mil Dist H2O and only 2 drops of 5% Na2 for contrast.

Here is another from the same morning and was a 6min exposure.

Really can't get enough of looking at this one. It's mesmerizing, this is the sort of that I aspire to do one day.
