After months of fiddling, I was finally able to get my enlarger working again (mostly). I made a few 8x10 prints, then I remembered I had some 11x14 paper I bought a few years back and never opened. I popped in a 4x5 negative that was contrasty and I had printed before as an 8x10.
This is the image (there was a url link here which no longer exists).

I was blown away by the level of detail and the tonal scale. It looks huge compared to an 8x10 print. And it is far and away better than the digital scan.

Interesting perspective - makes you look. Lighting is great also. Yes, 11X14s do look a lot bigger than 8X10s. When you mat and frame them, they really look good on the wall.

Good shot, well done. 11X14 is almost twice the size of 8X10. It is an excellent size for display prints.

That is an excellent shot. I myself will rarely go over 11 X 14. I actually prefer hitting that middle ground between a small print and a huge enlargement. I think it is pretty much the perfect size.

I think 11x14 is probably my favorite size paper. I like the shape much better than 8x10.
