Re: PESO - Union Station, Washington, DC

Thanks Shel - you comments are much appreciated since I know how much effort 
you put into getting your exposures spot on. Without a doubt - a properly 
exposed negative goes a long long way to getting the image just right. 
Personally, I also like how the grain comes through in this image (apparent 
in larger reproductions) - even though Microdol-X is a fine grained 
developer, the naturalistic effect of the grain adds a nice effect.

thanks again -

Hi Mark ...
Your Union Station pic is quite nice. I like the higher tones, the pattern
and geometry of the place was nicely photographed, but, more than that,
it's apparent that you took your time to get the shot lined up properly.
The base is straight and parallel to the edge of the frame, left and right
sides are balanced, and the photo comes together nicely. There doesn't 
seem
to be any fried highlights, either. Too many people are so sloppy in such
details, and, especially in this case, attention to these details makes 
for
a stronger image. B&W was the proper choice as well.
