Not sure what I think of this one. I like the grain, but it feels very desolate and empty, and I'm not sure I like that. She seems very headstrong and that doesn't quite work with the emptiness for me.

I love grainy shots and think this one's a doozy!

awesome shot. woulda loved to have seen this in clear digital, i think the grain takes away too much detail personally. each to their own anyway

Great shot - I love the tones and composition!

Not a fan of the grain myself, but it looks similiar to the film negs I just scanned in, which were also hugely grainy so I guess its that!

Thanks!

That was not a very low-grain combo (Forte, Rodinal and 1 stop push) I've used; the grain wasn't intended, though I don't object it

Love it!
Is the grain on purpose?

Thanks!

Grain - not really Fortepan 400 is a grainy film, it was pushed a stop, plus the developer I had at hand was Rodinal, so not the smoothest combo.
