Good to see you back at it Ric. Indeed a pleasing effort. Plenty of detail. The data looks suppressed or clipped as the drop off between the light and dark regions is quick. Certainly not as vibrant as your HH you posted a while back. Look forward to seeing more.

TIP: If you did a quick DDP stretch in MaximDL. i.e auto background and midtones level, you may need to subtract ~100 points off the background to ensure DDP doesn't clip the black point. Then you can raise the black point later. You'll find that DDP will sometimes have a problem with determining the background. Keep an eye on the screen stretch histogram and you can't go wrong.
