Your picture is great!
And you are the first with a picture developed in an ultra fine grain developer.
This is an overdue premiere!

Thanks!

@hagee: Really? I'm the first to post this combination in the B&W film developer pool? I guess perceptol isn't all that popular for HP5. I just like to experiment with the technology since I'm not that creative compositionally...

@leeny: I think I have a thing for ideas of recursiveness. :^)

Hey Scuzzi, that giant painting of a photograph does set up some awesome bokeh doesn't it. This was probably shot at about f2 (??) and I was really close so the depth of field was quite shallow. Got lucky again!

Yes, as far as I know, it is the first picture with such a combination.
It was a kind of a fashion about 25 years ago to shoot on high-speed film, and to develope it in ultra fine grain developers like Perceptol.
A common couple in these days was Kodak Tri-X and Kodak Microdol, dilution 1+3, 24 degrees celsius, 15 minutes.

cool -- I really had no idea.

So how exactly did you discover this? Is there some sort of search you can do in "interestingness" by name?

AND since when did you get a PC? I thought you were using your "work" PC to access flickr... :^)
