How would you tackle (darkroom) printing this?

And I would have shot a whole bunch of frames, hoping the capture the feeling. Really interesting how people look differently, how they react differently to what they see, how differently what they see affects them—emotionally, spiritually, artistically, etc.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure @GregY was talking about how I reduced the contrast - that he found it too flat and dead of a scene.

Reread his post, and you may be right.

I think I'm going to start a thread "What makes you lift your camera"...

The biggest thing for me photographically is the quality of light. The biggest reason i might not have lifted my camera is lack of quality light. If there's tonality, i do have images in overcast conditions.... but here i didn't see either light or interesting tonality.
BTW Alex, that sounds like a fine topic!
