I really appreciated your comments on the first version of this image. As you know, the first version was basically a raw scan, so, I worked on this in PS from the original scan. I like the result. How about you?
Thanks, as always,

Preston, much different than the original post, all the colors are beautifully vibrant and the vegetation really looks lush, love the greens and the slate color of the water, well done
Very nice, Preston. This now has some nice pop to the scene along with as originally discussed on the first version, some nice depth to the shadows. As we have all worked a variety of films over the years it has always been the hard balance between the shadows and highlights, I like how well this version of film has handled those items. Thanks for following up on this test with the 160.

This is really nice, Preston. Quite a difference from the straight scan. Nice glow to the foreground water and I like the difference layers and shades of green in the vegetation.

Preston,
Dang, I wish you hadn't posted both of them - I like them both. I really liked the first one and especially the tones in the water. This one is more vibrant, but not too much. So if I had to pick one - I'd pick the one in between the two. :-) Ultimately, it's how the print will look that matters, they both came out great.

Hi Preston,
Very lovely presentation. What I find very interesting about this photograph is how the top appears to very formal and manicured (like a formal garden setting), while the bottom half has the typical characteristics of open wilderness. Quite the juxtaposition and I appreciate your eye to create this composition.
