Your images stands far superior. Jeff, as usual, has given only the briefest of comments - and has never surrendered that most precious of commodities "the artist's statement". What you see is not what you get. Is that really a laundry, or has Chris lent him Bryce? Your own statement however was somewhat lacking. For instance, where was the time of day or even the date the image was taken? It does however definitely demonstrate the superiority of film, especially for monochrome work. After all, what kind of foul would place a red-green-blue mosaic filter over their film then, at the processing stage, work hard to reinstate the tonal information that would have been there without the [Bayer] filter? Bah! Just proves it to me. Bob (not Rosen)
