!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is that +1 push and developed to N+1?? That is awesome (both as an image and aesthetic film choice). K
Shangheye, this is a +1 push that was developed to N+1 in the minilab. XP2 is quite versatile if you have enough light - if you don't have enough light, though, it won't treat you well - you'll have muddy blotchy shadows, etc - not really recommended for high speed work.
I pushed it in order to get more DOF and higher speed. By now I tend to push it out of habit.
I obviously adjusted the contrast on this photo, but it was quite contrasty to begin with - lots of sunshine on a warm greek september day. happily it was also windy - gave me the hair movement.
The test is "Does this image affect / change my emtional state?" ... and this one does, for some unexplainable reason.
The "inverted, open rectangle" seems to draw and intensify my attention... something of a first time - original reaction.
Great** work!!
