Digital BW, The Print

Nice pic and very subtle very dark shadows. On my monitor, in a darkish room, I 
can see little or no detail in the tops of the dark mountain range.

As a new-be to digital printing still unable to figure the basics out, I'm a bit 
nervous about offering an opinion.

But if there is no way to make the print exactly match the monitor, can't you 
apply what ever knowledge and instincts you have, make a trail print and then 
make what ever corrections are needed.

This is pretty much what everyone I knew used to to do about "drying down"
