Then after trying to print the &$#@! thing, I start to hate it more and more.. But once the print is done, and displayed I go back to it a few weeks later and if I like it, it's good. If I don't, it isn't. But time is the best way to decide. I find my emotions regarding a print are at their highest right after it comes out of the fixer.. be it at the film stage or the print stage. The other thing you can do is after a few weeks, compare it to your portfolio. Where does it fit in ? J
