Digital BW, The Print

Austin, I hate getting into another debate with you. I am looking at 
VERY good images. I KNOW how to make exhibition
prints Austin. I was a custom printer for 40 years. I had the worlds 
finest teachers at Brooks when I was there, and
Boris Dobro was one of the worlds best printers. He taught us well.  If 
you can't get better highlight and shadow
detail out of photoshop and digitial than you can a darkroom print, you 
simply don't know your craft very well.
