Thank you all for the comments.

 

wonderful shot -- is it the film/developing that makes it so sharp or the scan/pp? my feeling is if it were a tad softer it would go from terrific to great. at least to me and my eyes.

 

An interesting comment, Steve. As it happens, I had prepared two versions and posted the one that was most 'punchy', whilst reserving the right to revert to a smoother version, displayed below. I am coming around to thinking that this is the better one.

to my eyes and taste, purely subjective, i like the second one a lot better. to me it captures a mood that film captures -- why make a film shot look like digital in pp? but like i said, it is purely subjective no right or wrong just personal bias here. thanks for taking the time to try it this way and post it. steve

My thanks for all the latest comments :) Actually, I'm somewhat surprised that it came out as well as it has as it was all rather rushed. It was a dull and drizzly day as I turned a corner, saw the possibilities offered by glistening road surface and the figure, but had to whip my camera out from inside my coat, crouch down, select aperture and shutter speed, curse, take lens cap off, repeat selection of shutter speed and aperture, focus and fire!

For an oltimer such as myself, the 2nd shot is the one that transmits the mood best.

 

I find a lens cap useful for putting the lens away, but a curse for being ready to shoot (I keep mine at home). I have my camera lenscapless with me at all times, ON, fstop and shutter speed set for present light conditions, focussing at infinity, and I still miss shots! :o
