Since you worked so hard to perfect the original image's textures, I'm not
surprised any change would seem less. It does lose the "rich wood" look a
bit, which is a negative, and the dark colors are washed out a little.

I've found prints can look darker than onscreen (they lose that "internal
glow" a monitor creates and the color space is smaller), so the lighter
colors may print better. I think your image would look great on matte
paper.

I added a couple of images to Zazzle a few days ago and I've been surprised
at the number of people who have looked at them, and rated them. Looks like
a lively concern.
