> Hi Greg,
> My gut reaction when looking at the musicians? It looks like it's 
> printed on 
> a #1 or softer paper. Like there isn't a clean B&W look to it. No 
> contrast. 
> Muddy print. Lot's of detail, just way too flat!
> 
> Another way of what it looks like? If I said the paper was over-
> exposed and 
> pulled from the developer too soon producing this grey flat look 
> rather than 
> letting it develop for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes producing a nice clean 
> B&W look 
> might be another way of describing it.
> 
> I'm not sure what effect you're trying to get in the look, but I 
> don't think 
> it's doing anything for the quality of photograph as a print.Or if 
> you like, 
> as seen on the screen.
> 
> Is this look happening when you put the neg in the scanner with 
> everything 
> set to "auto- scan B&W negative?" Or does this look happen when 
> you start 
> screwing around trying to get some kind of "old timer" look?
> 
> It's an interesting photograph of people/busker life around 
> Vancouver's 
> Stanley Park or the water front, but the look doesn't cut it for 
> me. Sorry 
> mate.
