Carolyn and Will,
I have an aggravating way of posing a question and having it sound like an answer. I'm sorry about that. These exchanges do help me sort things out in my mind.
A couple of things about this photo, I took it with my 35mm film camera with Fuji 160 asa pro portrait film. I used the camera's spot meter to expose for her face, thus the over exposure of the background. After blowing both the cropped and the full image to 8x10 they both remained fairly dense. No doubt the low speed film contributed much to this. I was pleased with what I could see in the shadows of her left eye.
I think these photos may go into the file for a while. I need to do something other than a pretty young girl. I will be photographing an 8 year old boy tomorrow. I'm excited about that.
