I like the vintage look.

@jtk Thanks, I think it worked for this one.

Very sweet memories. Lovely print. Perfect blend of modern and ancient technology.

Great, well done shot BUT: Did she like it???

Like the soft lighting, works very well.
What happened to the iron cord?

@artonpaper fwiw, I would have shot with 2475 @ 800, DK50. Same look if toned.

@Gaston 012 I never printed this one. She probably saw the contact sheet, but that was 40 years ago. I was re-sleeving some film recently and noticed this (any many others) and wondered if it would look good in palladium. @awty I see a cord on the ironing board. I didn't photoshop it if that's what you're implying.

@jtk I shot a lot of 2475, and, yes I eventually came to the conclusion that DK-50 worked great with that film. But this picture was a grab shot, that much I remember. What was I going to do, tell her to wait while I remove roll and loaded another one? I think your comment reveals some wishful thinking on your part. I don't know if you have ever made a handmade print, but the experience is a big part of why I do it. That fact and, I worked my way through school, very late in life, working as a B&W custom printer in the heart of the New York City Photo District, printing for highly demanding professional photographers and amateurs alike. I had enough gelatin silver printing. Then I went on to pursue a teaching career as a tenured professor of photography at Brooklyn College, CUNY, and I teach traditional darkroom, hybrid photography, and digital photography. I do my share of critiques. I think there is an art to it.

@mshchem And thank you for your complements.

Wasn't implying anything just couldn't see it, if it were later or earlier it could be cordless, obviously wasn't looking hard enough, see it now. I don't have any editing hang ups and I like this style to me very impressionistic.
