straight print, too light for my taste (5 1/2 sec), I'll double the general time, contrast seems good to my eye, I'll add some more light to the background, the arms of his shirt and the back of his wife, like this ;

I like to print a bit more dark. this is, for me, a good starting point to translate something on baryta paper.
