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. ted
