Scan from a chrome. Colors never look quite right to me in a scan.
Still it is a nice photo Walt.

But, as the saying goes, something is lost in translation. The scans never look as good as the originals. Colors get "murky" in a way that fiddling the saturation and vibrance controls fails to correct. Scenics suffer the most. Sometimes a simple image of a sign or building or small object such as a kid's toy can be made to look OK, even some single flowers turn out well but any mass of foliage or a forest seen from distance never looks right tom me in a scan.

Bokeh within the flower head, and a well-bokehed background that is also slightly washed-out by over exposure.
