Excellent results, very nice models.
I expected less contrast from this classic developer formula, so I am a bit surprised. But still good.
My absolute favourite is #6, it really tells a story, a true little gem.
Technically, I think the best result is #5, perfect skin tone, blacks, whites, and a good range of mid tones in between.
It will look great printed.
But overall, great series, one of the best B&W series posted here without doubt.

Thank You, Orio.
I also like some of these results. Barry Thornton's two bath developer is my favorite.
it's because we do not have on the market ready made developers. I found this recipe as a suitable one, I've gathered all required chemical products, tried this developer and I was surprised. Now, I'm loyal to it but does not mean that no experimenting anymore...

I really like the shots, the kids looking through the fence is great. But I don't like the tonality, too gray for me, I like to see white and blacks and a more punchy look, just my personal taste though.

Great looking set. #6 and #7 are ones for the wall.
I think these negatives would print very well.

I've not tried Thornton two bath. Must give it a go. The tonal control is excellent in these frames. You have a great starting point to wet print.

Cheers!

Very good results... Orio is right , with no 6. And it gave to me a sentiment of common for me...until I saw your location Laughing And then I understood why that photo seemed to me to be taken in my city outskirts !!!
I like also No. 3 ,there is a contrast between the old beauty of the building wich is going away and the beauty and life of the young girl . Very well done !Foarte bine !

I'm with Ian. The shots are all well taken, though.

Thanks to all!
I have a lot of shots with more punchy look. Next time with other ingredients, results will be different again. This time it happens like this, and I'm happy;)!

Teo, multumesc mult!
