I was scanning some of my Venice negatives but accidentally did this one as a colour negative instead of a BW negative. I quite liked the accidental result. What do you folks think?

Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I don't know what the image should look like, but I like the photo the way it is right now!

I like it - looks vaguely sepia-ish and the treatment suits the subject.

I printed a few colour negatives on B&W paper many years ago with surprisingly decent results.
