Without editing? Man, that's hard to nail down with a digital/scanned workflow. But I went back to my file (well, just for the one) and I had 3 separate adjustment layers that toned down the eye-burning reds, so I eliminated those. The final photo is still quite saturated, but without toning it down a bit I didn't care for it.
Final | Too Saturated

Thanks! And you are right on all accounts, Valley of Fire was very hot, very dry, and very red - the fire trifecta!
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Thanks for posting.
On an image like that the crazy color makes it even more interesting in my eyes, personally. Both neat looking though.
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Yes, i also like that saturated scan, but as Bryan said, both are neat.
Re: Large Format Landscapes
I'm not sure if this is a landscape exactly, but I'm not sure where else to put it.
Anyway, I recently spent some days alone in the middle of a dry lake bed in Nevada, and anyone who has been by themselves in that sort of place will understand me when I say that the days can become very, very, very long. One finds ways to entertain oneself or risks going crazy.
Here is the midday sun in my Yashica Mat:

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Corran / Professional - thanks again for the feedback. I initial like the more saturated versions - they're more eye-catching, but I find them fatiguing too. I just find they look over-baked and unrealistic. At some point it reminds me too much of what I see on flickr with so much cranked saturation, so I like to keep it a little more subdued.
(Why shoot Velvia then? Good question, seems like I'm asking for trouble. But anytime I compare a Velvia and a Provia slide I invariably prefer the Velvia)
Austin - I really like that actually! The flare in the viewfinder is very cool.

I wish my Velvia can be tha saturated ;)
In fact i prefer Velvia the most as slide, but i may use neg if i want in between or more natural colors, wish Fuji produce Reala film for large format then it will be my favorite color film overall.
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Can't decide. Color or BW?
