Only minimal PS here (toning and USM), Martin. The film was developed in Rodinal, a high-acutance but NOT fine-grain developer. I'm not sure about this particular shot but I often use a Harrison & Harrison #3 diffusion filter for portraits of females. It's something of a contrast killer which necessitates printing on a higher grade of paper which, in turn, makes the grain more evident. But, as someone (I wish I could remember who it was) once said, "Grain is the brush-stroke of photography."
Wallace: Gender aside here.... I like the shot. I thought at first you had used a faster film, and I like the grainy look to this...surprise surprise! Makes me think it was manipulated in PS. STILL...a really good photo. I like the detail in the jacket on the left of the photo, clarity of the eyes, and overall feel. So question. Did you use a filter? Either way, PS or not, Filter or not, guy or girl, it's a great shot! Shyfox
