@kali66 tx Kali... film won't happen any time soon... my film camera wasn't working last time i picked it up and after the last 2+ weeks of sooc it seems unlikely i will have any inclination left over for the "real thing"... think i'm an etsooi gal at heart ;p
Do you know what, I think you are far too critical of your own work although I know the difficulty of holding back from editing. I see editing as part of the process but I also see that some of my shots don't benefit at all from fiddling with them xx
I'm with Lisa I think @psychographer ...this sooc image is, for me, underexposed by probably 2 stops. With that correction it wouldn't be far away from your edited version.
