I have a theory that I'm still researching that large white (or near white) areas in an image are more "acceptable" when the image is a print versus been viewed on a monitor. Especially better on a B&W print.
A print is viewed using a reflected light source. While a monitor 's light is directed/projected(?). Large white areas (of image) when seen on a monitor "overwhelm" the image. Causing much distraction from the subject. And no I do not think my monitor's white is too bright. Maybe it is? My all white screen measures ISO 200, f3.5, 1/60. Dr. Clark - is this too bright?
