I can't see it in rows, so not 100% sure on those.
With the river and people image, I had the all the film pushed 2 stops when developing (400 asa to 1600 asa). Stangely enough, I gave it more contrast/ shadows post editing, because I preferred it with more shadow
The one with the gentleman looking over the river was only shot on an Olympus Trip 35. I like the composition. The drying marks etc, all just happened and were not added for any kind of effect (the film also fell down the back of my desk while I was scanning haha!). Interesting story you came up with there! I like
The one looking down the steps is focused on the shadows on the wall cast by the light bouncing off the water. This shot didn't quite go as planned, as you pointed out due to the shallower DOF- but this is because over how heavily overcast it was that day. Two shots taken in this attempt, the other was F16 and was just too dark (I don't like to overly edit, especially film).
The image appears small on my screen, smaller than the others, making it harder to see detail in shadows. This probably looks great printed 20X30, but a different approach to tonal range is needed in smaller sizes. If I were producing a print in the darkroom then I'd probably dodge that area for a 10X8 and print a bit deeper for something larger that one could walk up to & have a closer look.
Not suggesting you add marks for effect, but just like dust bunnies in digital, then need removal before presenting images. I used to spend time & care with pencils removing marks from prints before they were presented or mounted, but now it's incredibly simple and there's no reason not to clean up.
The 'imperfections' are as important to me as the 'perfections'. That is probably just the musician in me shining through.
Y'know, this is really annoying. I'm a musician, so I can't be bothered to deal with the crap on my images? Really? Well in that case I can't be bothered to crit your images in the future. You're on ignore.
