Sadly the shot is spoiled a little by the far support being out of focus. I'm not sure how I managed this as I'm sure I checked it on the GG. I seem to have this issue in a let of my shots. I suspect I'm making some sort of rookie mistake either in terms of not locking all the movements down properly (I wish my Chamonix had some sort of hard reset to zero everything), or possibly in the callibration and my use of my loupe. It's quite frustrating!

Thanks Tin Can.
That is a very nice shot. Regarding the softness of the distant tower, I looked at the full size Flickr page and noticed that there are a couple of other places that are inexplicably soft. From looking at the foreground and the land on the other side of the bridge, you obviously used a small aperture for great depth of field. It's sharp from side to side and top to bottom, except near that far tower, as if the neg has a bubble that affected the sharpness either in shooting or scanning. There is a similar "bubble" at the bottom, slightly right of center. There is no reason for that to be blurry. I don't think you made a mistake. I think something else is at play.
