After some thinking, I may have found what triggered my interest in this picture, and why I find it a bit better on screen. There are two parts. First is the center of the image, with the big crack. This part is constantly shifting in my mind between being flat, and being 3D. When 3D, it looks like it’s sinking into that vertcal black line, like somone is pulling it from behind. Anyway, this effect is equally strong to me both on screen and on paper.
The white surrounding, which I mentioned in the previous comment, is what makes the big differense. On screen, it looks sharper, and my eyes are more pleased with looking at this part. This becomes an area where my attention spirals, and I investigates the details. On print, it does not look as sharp, and does not require the same attention. This make the picture “smaller” to me.
The last thing I find a bit disturbing is the mangenta cast. At least I see it that way. I’ve tried it under several light sources, and I still see it. It is not much, but still something I noticed even without looking at a neutral reference.

I’ll continue posting when I manage to gather some more thoughts on this.

This is a kind of photography that I like, but I just can’t put my finger on exactly what it is.

For this kind of photograph, I think I would have preferred a rougher paper, to enhance the texture of the wall that looks so important. I noticed that the contrast of the print is quite a bit higher then the web version, is it something that you wanted? I’m not sure which one I prefer in this case… But I think that the printed version lost some highlights. And maybe it could have been a little bit sharper at pixel level.

I have to say that all these things came to my mind looking at it from a close distance, like 15-20 cm… So now, waiting for the next round!

PS: I sent my pictures this morning, sorry for the delay, I’ll be in time the next time!

More comments on your print to come, just wanted to say that it arrived in one piece.
