I am being patient, but still no print yet for me.
OK people, the masses are getting restless. So, I know there are 6 prints "in the mail" - when folks get them, please post that you've received your print
and
I also know there are 6 people who haven't sent a print yet - I have sent a reminder PM to each of you (one person is no longer on APUG or changed the name of their handle ... I'll get to the bottom of it). Please post a message here when you have sent your print. Just reminder that there is also the option of send the print you received in lieu of your own print, if you wish. Thanks.
Regards, Art.
I did receive an interesting platinum print from Jim yesterday. Thank you very much!
Starting its life as a Agfa Scala positive, it was enlarged to sheet film and then made a platinum print of. It's actually the first platinum print I own, so I'm very pleased from that aspect too.
Thank you,

You received a platinum print? How lucky you are, I never saw one :-) I would wait a year to receive only one :-) :-) :-)
(btw. I changed my user name from diwolf to this current one.)

Still being patient, but still no picture yet.
I just received two prints from Justin Silber. Great work, and thanks!
Hello Thomas,
I see you received a platinum print in the blind exchange. Please explain, how does it compare with a regular print? I'd love to see... but hearing will have to do. I never know about what I see scanned and posted online and would love to know the qualities.
Thanks,
Janet
I'm still waiting - patiently, of course :)

It's hard to tell without seeing a silver print of the same, but from what I can tell I made the following observations:
1. Texture control - since you are free to coat the emulsion on any paper you deem appropriate, you have a certain level of control of texture.
2. Highlights just glow with beautiful separations.
I have seen other platinum prints while visiting fellow photographers and museums, and there's a certain 'depth' to them that's hard to explain. I find them 3-dimensional and dynamic.
Hope that helps.
- Thomas
