Dear Peter

Thanks for posting the images from the LHSA meet. May I assume that your 
images were scanned digitally and then posted. Except for this one which 
was closest to the mark in terms of tonality: 
http://www.2alpha.net/~pklein/lhsa2002/21leicarose.htm

the others lacked contrast. The blacks were far from black and the whites 
rather weak. I am sure something could be done to tweak the final image a 
bit  more to give it  that  "umph!".

Dan K.
