I like this shot a lot. Nicely framed, and a great look. You can
improve the contrast quite a bit by tweaking the curve. Just play with
it until you get the look you want. Start with an S curve adjustment,
below the line on the shadow end, above it on the highlight end.

Thanks for the comments, Jack. I was fairly pleased with the
negative. The scan, however, was not so pleasing. I play with it in
photoshop for a bit and then gave up. I think I may scan it again,
and if I get a better result I'll try to adjust the contrast a bit. I
agree that it's muddy. To my eyes, there's too much gray and not
quite enough black and white.

Scott,
Soulful, pensive and powerful. Just great!
It has, however, a flat sort of drab look about it. Perhaps a tiny
anount of non-mood breaking contrast to slightly increase depth?..or
not.

This is a photo of my wife's cousin's daughter taken at a family

seven
frames she allowed me to take, this one is my favorite.
Thanks for looking.
