Hi Peter and others who responded. Thanks for the comments. I do feel the 
negatives a bit flat and possibly over-developed. It's good to have 
confirmation. These are some of the known problems with the Jobo 
processing. I guess the good news is that it appears I have the process 
down fairly consistently so now I can do some experimentation.

One of the advices is to shorter development time, now I can do some more 
experiment. Thanks.
