I don't see flaws...just awe! Love how that shed is so part of the land, is low, unobtrusive.
 
Everything about this print is just incredible. My only quibble is that I wish the valley topography were a little different so the shed faced the photographer more fully, but I don't think that can really be blamed on the printing process...
 
Is this the old print with some flaws?
Think it looks great. The very special light rays that looks as made by a hand rather than by a camera makes it perfect with this paper and toning.

Thank you guys for kind comments; I think my dodging and burning as well as coating the emulsion are better this days hence I think I should be able exploit potential of this negative better on the next approach. Happy New Year to all of you!
 
This is a great composition and love the way the road leads the eye into the mountains. However, I think the colour tone and screen effect (could be the digital reproduction) does not help. I think this picture would look much better as a darker toned, more contrasty image.
