There is disclosed a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material having a high sensitivity and an excellent rapid processability after exposure with a camera for a plate making. The light-sensitive material comprises a support having thereon at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing silver halide grains. The sliver halide grains contain a metal compound having a cyanide ligand represented by Formula I and have been subjected to sensitization with a selenium sensitizer and spectral sensitization with a sensitizing dye represented by Formula II: [M(CN)mX6-m]n(I)wherein M represents iron, rhenium, osmium, ruthenium, or iridium; X represents a bridged ligand; m is 4, 5 or 6; and n is -2, -3 or -4: <IMAGE> (II) wherein Z represents a group of atoms necessary to form an oxazole nucleus, a benzoxazole nucleus or a naphthooxazole nucleus; R1 represents an optionally substituted alkyl group; R2 represents an alkoxycarbonylalkyl group, a hydroxyalkyl group, a hydroxyalkoxyalkyl group, a carbamoylalkyl group, a hydroxyphenyl group, or a hydroxyalkylphenyl group; and R3 and R4 may be the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an alkylsulfonyl group, a sulfo group, a chlorine atom, a fluorine atom, or a carboxy group. |
