This is awesome Tom! Who knew a Cabbage patch could look so good unless it had Cabbage Patch Dolls in it?

I like the light and glow. One that that film can do is deal with bright highlights better. Film doesn't have the dynamic range that our DSLR's have, but there is something I had read, and this photo demonstrates it, that Film is able to spread the light so that it has a gradiant quality if you will in the bright area. It's a really cool result.

I see it the way you do Jim. I do need to mention that shooting with a 4x4 film camera can eat big time into you hobby budget.
For example, after all of the expense of getting there you pay dearly for each time you record an image. Back then a single sheet of film was $2.50 and processing on average about the same. So, $5.00 a shot. Ya better had know how to expose a scene. Bracketing was rare. Even then I threw away about 75% of what I did......just like I do with a DSLR now!
