Blown-out Beach

Continuing along with my journey of black and white films... this is Ilford HP5 400, I developed it with Xtol (an unfamiliar developer) and am pretty sure I blew out the highlights by over processing, which gave the photos an interesting look but a little too much for me. The previous post and the next few are all from the same batch of film.
