I developed this in 1:14 dilution for nine minutes in hope to get better highlights when using longer time. I am again was not sure what longer time should be when I change dilution. I must say I like very very much the look of this shot, which is straight from scanner no adjustment other than sharpening for web. I must say that generally these picture developed this way have lower contrast than with 1:9 dilution (which was expecting to have a little compensation effect), but there are no highlights. Looking at histogram of every picture from this roll I can see that mostly middle tone and some shadows are presented but higher 30% of histogram is just empty. So I expect even longer time is needed here.
