I am going to make a very harsh and direct comment, but I hope you take it in the spirit I mean it.
These photos are awful. They lack decent tonality, with a clear lack of good mid tones, highlights are burnt out and blocked, shadow detail is almost nonexistent ... perhaps you're having problems scanning, but I think not, since I've seen some of your color shots, which were fine. I suspect you really need to refine your processing and printing techniques with B&W. I've been holding my tongue whenever you post your B&W work, but upon reflection, I feel some direct, honest comment about the quality of the photos you're posting here is warranted. > JCO said: > > Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2002 21:46:29 -0500 > From: "J.
