Just got a scanner. The perfect thing for a cold night. This I took in Puerto Rico a few years back. I guess I'm missing the warmth.

Those are the colors.

Looks like too much red, especially in the dark areas, like the shadows around the bushes at the bottom. But that would take just a minute to correct in Photoshop. Cool pic, though. Looks like some of the early scenes from Alfred Hitchcocks movie The Birds!

Hmmmm.....that's strange because I don't see a problem with the colors. Seems to me that the wall was made out of clay...wouldn't that account for it?

PhrankPower has get the problem... there's a red predominance in the pic. The problem could be: 1- Scanner; 2- Processing of the film; 3- Both. To my experience, i think, is the N3. I've no info of which scanner was used for this pic... but i think one with no ColorSync profile (or a bad one)... or maybe processed in a PC. But the problem could be the film processing, really frequent if the pic is some yeard old. I've reworked the pic a little (just for fun) this is the result after some post-work... I'm really afraid that the greens (yellows in fact) are a bit too dark in my reworked pic... but the shadows of the bushes and almost all the bushes itself are composed by reds... =/
