Large Scale Dark Room Work

Although there is a lot of contrast between the darkest points of this image and the lightest, the mid tones don't have much variation, making this image seem quite dull and  un-impactful from a distance.

I really like this image, but there are hardly any dark areas, making it still too dull/un-impactful. I think this has come as a result of the dark room pieces themselves, rather than as a result of being blown up to a large scale. All of these images were blown up to A2 width, but have varying lengths.

This was the best of the three, with the most contrast and detail, giving a very interesting texture.

These two images were blown up from my original dark room pieces, but I thought that they kept their intricacy and the dramatic contrast in both images makes them really effective for drawing the eye.
