RE: [Digital BW] The perfect print

Barry,
 
My level of proficiency in digital is probably similar to yours, and I
couldn't tell a Piezo print from a pizza print.  However, I'd imagine,
just like any other photos, you can tell if there are defects in an
image; stuff like contrast control, brightness, intensity of color
(blacks), and more mechanical problems, like banding or off-colors.  
 
There is also the matter of aesthetics to consider.  Does an image do
anything for you.  Try to look at images that you like or do not like
and figure out what affects you.

Subject: [Digital BW] The perfect print
 
Just got in the latest batch of prints from the August exchange. It 
was difficult for me to evaluate and critique the prints as I am not 
an expert on technical skills, I just know what I like. Most of my 
posts are questions, as this is, because the skill set on this list 
for those who post often is far more technically advanced than mine. 
I wonder, how do you judge a print? What is a perfect print to you? 
What criteria do you use? Do you have a certain method?  For those 
that don't post and just listen, you have a voice too. What is a 
perfect print to you? I think technical merit is important, but I 
think it goes beyond that. Thanks for sharing.
