Ah yes. That I agree, the photo serves to demonstrates my enthusiasm for 
the film, not my photographic skills :-) I like the smooth tonal range. May 
be I have been shooting colors for too long, but seeing tones like that is 
sort of... "exciting" for me.

Thanks for your comments about the photo itself though. Lots for me to 
learn. I am not too sure I will agree about printing 11x14 with 1600 all 
the time. Right at this moment in my photographic journey, that kind of 
grain would bother me, but who knows what I would think later on.

Since I don't print wet per se, I am not entirely sure whether it is over 
expose or scanning artifact. I will play around. As for her hair, it's 
brunette with a very slight hint of red. Very slight. Shows up in sunlight 
though.

Thanks.
