Nice one Cedric, I like the downward angle & contrast with the black water a lot. What film scanner do you have? You can't use digital ice for clean-up with B&W, or couldn't when I last read up on it. Did you have much cleaning to do?
Cheers
Mike

Thank you Mike. Well, i use a poor scanner, one included in my Canon MP970 printer. I don't have advanced feature like ICE... But, to be honest about my scanner, it is very slow (6 minutes to scan a BW picture with 4800 dpi resolution and 16bits depth) but offers very clean files : i don't have any problem with noise. My problem is with definition : scanned images are not really sharp, i think that my scanner's lens is not very precisely focused. With a "big grain" film as Tri-X 400, it doesn't matter because grain is much bigger than scanner's resolution, but with high resolution films as Velvia 50, i hardly get good sharp files.
