Not a criticism , but new this was from a print and not a digital image , before seeing the details you kindly added , it`s got that look to it that reminds me of my old family photos shot in black and white . I kind of think that`s hard to do from a straight digital image , I like it .

Thanks! Maybe its the 58mm focal length (super-wide on 4x5 film) that gives it that 'film' look?

Many thanks!

For some reason the scans always seem to leave grainy skies, so my new post-process step is to remove grain from just the clouds and sky. Makes for a much cleaner image.
