Thanks Nathan. Do you use OEM film holder or aftermarket e.g Betterscanning? I am looking at investing on a better film holder.Quote:

Even though the film has significant sag in the Epson holders the DOF when the film is centered vertically is quite large. Look on my Flicka site and you will find a plot I made a couple of years ago showing the resolution as a function of height above the Epson platen.

Very nice, tigger.
The lonely tree might persuade the hiker to leave the road, but maybe the road, after going over the hill, swings back to the tree. I think I would still leave the road.Quote:

But I also like this a lot the way it is.

Hello Tigger,, I don't comment much, not to say that I don't like most images in fact I love many many posted here but I only comment when something really hits me and this hits me ... I know it's a simple landscape image of a road and tree but for me it's more, it's seems to be more about what I don't seeQuote:

Thank you for the kind comments! I will definitely go back when the sky is more interesting and I might try to move a bit back and to the left? It is a bit difficult composition wise and asks for some changes as you notice, but I'm not certain they are possible. My landscapes are quite amateur compared to what I see posted here. Namely I really like your PEI photo Nate. I do wonder if it retains the pictorial feel when printed large. Can you elaborate why you used rear tilt instead of front tilt?
