Have you experienced this ? Same negative, different interpretation

[DennisD]

I like the first one but I think it could use a little more separation between the sky and the building. I like the second one much better. I wonder what if you compromised between the two?

Thank you for your suggestion, Alan. It's an interesting thought.
I'm partial to the second image and fear a compromise might have much less impact.

I should have posted the two images side by side which I will do for a better viewing comparison.

Actually, I was hoping the thread would inspire others to post their own images (and alternates) which may have had different interpretations - for whatever reason.

Two different processes...platinum and then carbon. Images taken at the same time, processed a little differently for the process.

Base of Bridal Vail Fall

Vaughn, Just what I was hoping for - other posts with alternate interpretations or processes.

Both have great texture - the composition of the landscape frame (right-hand image) is beautiful.

I'm sorry my original post of the 2 original images did not lay out as originally intended.
The images were too large and stacked instead of sitting side by side.
I'm reposting the same images aside one another for better viewing comparison.

I made my original post hoping to prompt others to post images they had interpreted differently or printed in alternate processes.

Rather than focusing on my images, please feel free to add your own.

Another example.

Nude, Bryce Canyon, Silver gelatin print and cyanotype. Both contact prints, same negative (5x7)

Vaughn,
Lovely image. Have you thought of doing it in a gold toned VDB?

Thank you. No, I have not, but I unsuccessfully tried to print it as a carbon print when I was learning that process (not enough contrast in the negative).

Wow. The second print does not work for me as a photograph. As graphic art though, it is strong. Perhaps if you lightened the sky somewhat it would work as the former?

A good reason to stay away from numbered, limited editions. You reach the final numbered print and go no further. Keeps you from later interpretations and an expanding or changing vision as well as changes or improvements in your printing technique.

My thoughts exactly.
