I have failed, badly, but this will not slow me down. This was a good test shot to get my feet wet with 8x10 negatives. It doesn't look as bad as my phone makes it out to be, but it is far too soft for my liking.
I believe the softness of this image is in large part due to diffusion. I wasn't sure if the diffusion I was seeing on my GG was to be trusted, but it is. F45 is too soft for macro.
Moving from 4x5 to 8x10 has a pretty big learning curve. I WILL improve.
