i do like that quite a bit.. thank you for your input! i might have to crop it up a bit for my new site once i get it running. if you'd like, i can drop you a line once it's up to see what you think of my other stuff. you're clearly quite accomplished and it's always nice to have some qualified input. i know what you mean about being a darkroom bug.. i can't wait to move so i can have the space to set one up and get back into it. large spaces in DC are hard to come by without big bucks.

Robbie, it's a great image to play with -- hope you don't mind my having a go at it.
I love square format, but this one might be better as a tight vertical. Here's what I'm seeing, although there are lots of variations that would work. I'm a bit clumsy in photoshop, as I'm a darkroom devotee, but this is roughly what I see.
I actually nixed the hassey and stuck with the Bronica. I found it to be just as good in nearly every area, and I like that it is lighter weight. Also, the peripherals and lenses are so much more affordable than Hasselblad that I just couldn't justify the expense of the latter.

thanks so much for your comment.. here's a quick version i just did.. sort of what you're talking about? (just cropped and burned a bit in PS) I also noticed that you shoot with both an SQ-Ai and a hasselblad. do you have a preference? i'm about to buy a 6x6 format camera and am trying to decide if the hassy is worth the extra money. thanks again for your input

This image deserves more attention than its received. I love her expression, and the gaze at who-knows-what.
Personally, I would love to see this image with a rather severe crop -- say, cropping just at the bottom of the strings, midway through the chest, and pulling in the sides a bit. I'd also burn the background down a bit to make her skin and eyes the brightest thing in the frame. I think the result would be a more expressive, more effective image. The crop would also eliminate the sort of awkward posture and at-elbow crop.
Anyway, a very nice image with a lot of potential. Like you, I love a lot of grain when matched with the appropriate subject, and I think your choice of 3200 here was a good one.
