Re: PESO and enablement

If there's no detail in the shadows, it's probably underexposed. If it 
was overexposed, you would lose the highlight detail. However, the 
large grain seems to suggest overdevelopment, unless it's an extreme 
crop. Is the negative very thin? Are there large areas of bare acetate, 
such as in the hair? That would indicate underexposure. Black hair on 
an overexposed neg would show considerable detail, but the face and 
wall would have very little detail.

Interesting pose and composition. I like it. However the shadow detail
is all blocked up, and the image is a bit dark overall. It may have
been overdeveloped, but it's hard to say without seeing the neg.
However, if there's detail in the neg, you can bring it back with an
appropriate scan and some ps work.
Thanks, Paul.  Unfortunately, there is no shadow detail on the neg.  I
believe it's been over-exposed and over developed.  Shel responded
with a lengthy critique and I'll try to address those issues in my
response to him.  So stay tuned.
Thanks again!
