I have to put this in the Off Topic category because it was taken with the Hasselblad

Excellent! Beautiful work.

Some things just have to be seen in person to be truly appreciated. I don't think we can judge between film and digital by viewing an image on a computer. Grain is a component that can't be appreciated on a monitor (in my opinion). When I see some of my Dad's work hanging on my walls and compare it to my digital, there is just something missing in mine. Film and developing is just plain different, it has unique qualities which digital can never reproduce. In the same sense, digital has it's own unique qualities. I think grain becomes over enhanced when represented digitally, that's probably why I can't appreciate it on a computer monitor.

and..., this is probably why I am never happy with my own B&W digital(s), I just can't make it happen.

I'm not sure one can really compare digital to film. It's like comparing a painting in oil to one in acrylic. They are two similar, yet very distinct mediums.

Regardless of camera, it is a fine photograph. Knowing the camera, it is or will make one very fine print.

I totally agree with you. My scanned negatives are completely different than my prints.
