More lith from the old ballet negs.
I think I want to work on this one just a bit more - a touch more exposure to the draperies on the floor, while trying to retain the soft highlights elsewhere.
love the image I feel the blacks lost it in the bleaching process and need to be a little more solid. I feel they detract from the soft whites by looking bleached out. don't be pissed. I like it when someone takes the time to let me know what they feel instead of saying just very nice or wonderful.
but then again I'm not the most wonderful photographer either. just a little more work and I feel this could be a outstanding image.
sorry for my option

I've really been enjoying re-visiting these old negs with newer eyes and skills. I'm glad so many APUGgers enjoy them too.
Michael, don't apologize for stating your opinion - I put these in the critique gallery because I wanted more than a pat on the head. These prints haven't been bleached, but I do want to work some more with this one. The balance for me is the girl looking at the camera - any longer in the developer and her face and upraised leg start to pepper and darken quickly.
