A simple black and white

[Riggaberto]

This is a simple scan of a (C41) black and white print. My scanner isnt the best so its a little distracting I know. I took this a few months ago and it was really spur of the moment, just when I had started using a SLR. I wouldnt have had time to really change anything up, but I'm just curious what people think of the exposure. To me its just about right but I dont know B&W well, maybe some people think it's too dark? (it did scan a bit dark, also) Just curious, thanks.

Anyone? I'd rather hear something negative than nothing

OK... here's one, it's out of focus. There's not point of focus. Try again

Did you do this in a darkroom or get it developed somewhere? It looks like the chemicals were exhausted, you're getting a little bit of a brown tint to the image.

I got it developed somewhere else. Unfortunately I dont have access to a dark room.

Yeah that shot was sort of a spur of the moment thing, I know it's out of focus, but I actually dont mind because I sort of like the whole thing being soft in this situation. I dont think I'd like the hands any crisper than that, and the face in focus wouldnt seem right, imo.
