Another 5x7 Neg

Here is another 5x7 made 2 days ago and developed yesterday with Stu. There are fogging and sharpness issues but I thought I would post it anyway, part of the learning curve with this newish camera. I need to become more proficient with the Linhof 5x7 before I am shooting it for real in Asia. I like the look of the 120mm close up portrait, I was up close but still managed lots of body in the shot with distortion. I wonder how the Muay Thai boxers would look shot this way in the gym, it could be very intriguing. I like the very shallow depth of field look of the lens shot up tight like this.

Maybe I can use the 210mm for the full body shots and the 120mm for the 1/2 body.
