Very Nice! Perfect composition. May I ask, did you scan from the print for from the film? What scanner?
Thank you, Michael; that is high praise coming from a consumate pro like yourself. Actually, I didn't have too many options. The negative is packed away in storage, so all I had was the 4x6 print. Scanned it with an inexpensive Epson printer (XP-330). Epson tech support told me this printer driver leaves a default border on all photo scans (??). I ended up bringing the scan into Lightroom v5.7, cropping to remove the border and exporting. Then imported it to On1 Raw, applied a preset and made some adjustments. Was very fond of this photo back in the day, and IMHO this latest version is not half bad. On1 Raw's trial version is amazing and, despite some hectic back & forth, it was fun breathing life into an old memory.

Enjoyed your explanation of how you worked with a 4x6 print.
