Leica M2 w. Summicron DR wide open. Kodak Tri-X @ 400 in HC-110 solution B. Probably not art, but I like it a lot.

Looks good! Nice shallow DOF touch...yeah, it's art.:angel:

BTW, do you have any exposure data available?

She *really* enjoys that wall, eh? 🙂

Very nice, feels natural (ie. not awkwardly posed)

great picture!

Terrific!

I love how the wall is low-contrast, and the girl is high-contrast.

Dont know if it's art (what's art?) but I like it very much 🙂

This is art to me! What a wonderful shot.

Very nice shot. I'd love to see a life-size enlargement, maybe mounted in a corner.

Wide open on a Summicron DR is obviously f2. Shutter speed was 1/30th if I remember correctly.

Development time was a shade under 5 minutes.

Art is in the eye of the beholder.... In my (completely subjective) view, yes this is art. Great shot!!!

Nice photo. Whats art for sure - are those old Rigid/Dual Summicrons. They have such a wonderful signature, that I dont think any other version can quite duplicate. I had and and sold it - and miss it at times. Here is why:

In the words of Justice Potter Stewart, I know it when I see it.
