Christian, you touch upon an interesting subject.
The first time I printed on this paper (more than a year ago?), I didn't like it at all - the texture was just way too strong, distracting and unrealistic for my taste. I could probably attribute it to bad subject/paper match rather than bad paper as such... but in fact when I look at that first print today, it's not so bad even with that subject. Apparently my taste has been changing.
Now when I was pondering which paper to use for this forest photo, I decided to give Chamois another try. I can say that I'm satisfied with the result - the paper texture is in line with the texture of the bark, and gives it an almost three-dimensional quality when viewed at an angle; and the creamy base combines well with the brown toning.

Congratulations, Matej. It's a very nice photo. Reminiscent of a black and white Miró. Well done!

Well executed in terms of composition with the main tree emerging as a very strong graphical line. It's hard to evaluate the impact of the print - my guess is that the appreciation comes by a combination of the hues and the paper texture.

Now that's what I call doing it the hard way! Did you feel it was worth the effort? It's hard to judge from a small screen image. My Arsat 30mm is off to the Ukraine for repairs... After having great good luck with FSU 35mm lenses I seem to have run out of luck for MF lenses!

I like the fact that the toning doesn't affect the unexposed areas of white, which remain "pure" and bright. You caught the lighting just right on that ladder... fascinating.

I like this, the pattern of all the chairs works really well. B&W a nice choice too. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "Take a seat".

I think I'd have to see the print to really get the full impact of this shot. I'll visit your site, Matej. Since learning about Slovakia's many good local wines, I've wanted to visit... so I find you subject very interesting.

I like it! I am delighted to see someone reference Stefan Rohner, he has an exceptional feel for portraits in particular. This is strong, all the patterns give good texture. You should definitely take this guy (R) again... model looks.

Perfect composition, especially interesting because of the angle. The precise alignment commanded a precise composition and this is what we have. An enigma stems from the absence of human being (while the chairs are obviously set for of very large audience) and the implied presence of the photographer.

Primes are great, aren't they! A lovely image, Matej. The line of the crop across the top couldn't be bettered--just perfect. I am very impressed with the person(s) who layed out those chairs so very precisely. Your photo wouldn't have been nearly as impressive with higgledy piggledy rows of chairs!

Matej, there are no security issues with photography in the subways in Japan, and if you choose the right time of day you can find less crowded platforms and escalators. Of course the crowding is a part of the scene, so one doesn't want to avoid it altogether. Jostling is a problem, though... unintentional but unavoidable.
