How can I match this professional print??


Ah, yes! Definitely some movement/pop there. I finally see what everyone has been talking about. The double line is so pronounced, I though it was part of the original image!

OP, where is the next attempt?

Koraks, I don't see any double lines, even in the cropped section you posted. If there are double lines, that, indeed, points to movement. A popping negative or bumping the enlarger or jiggling it during exposure will certainly cause those.

Partial quote.


Just in case you have still not spotted them, looking at the original posters prints have a look at the joint of the paving stones beneath the mans foot.
Also, on the same level as the white shopping bag, look at the vertical joint lines either side of the man.

The double lines only appear to be from the middle of the picture and the left hand side.

Doubtless some people will probably see more defects in the print than I.

A lot of work has been put into making the print by the OP, it would be nice to hear about and see the final good print.



p.s. oops!
I have just noticed you found the double lines.
Egg on my face.
 
I'm convinced.

The OP is markedly silent, by the way. Last seen two days ago, but left again without commenting. Maybe he's in the darkroom.

he’s moved on . I don’t think the enlarger bump was noticed on the print. Who looks at a print with a magnifying glass?
 
I figured there was details and there are details. My mistake. Thought the micro movements might have part of the atmosphere.
