There's a variety of films used in these pictures, the grainy ones are
Tri-X. But I do like my photos to have some 'snap' so I wanted opinions on
whether I'd gone too far with the sharpness.

about using the Nik*n scanning software and my post-processing technique is
seat-of-the-pants but it's nice to know I'm on the right track!
