Very nice images. I must ask, do you use a post processing program such as Adobe Photoshop or something similar? I notice there is noise in the photos which make images look a little fuzzy and removing noise would help greatly. I use Topaz DeNoiser for this problem which can be used as a plugin for Photoshop or as a stand alone program. You'd be surprised at the difference in quality your shots will show.

Thanks for writing.. Yes I do as a matter of fact. I have been looking for a way to reduce noise. So thanks I think Ill try that.

Then again also that first image was shot 30 years ago so a very old neg but I like the image.

I didn't think you called it "noise" on film. You're just seeing the grain, but I don't really find it off-putting at all.

I like these very much indeed

As for the grain or "noise"... I'm with @Rondec - I don't find it an issue here. If it's evident on the actual photos, I'd be tempted to leave it well alone, as it's simply part of the character. If, however, it has been introduced in the scanning process, then a bit of denoising in post-processing wouldn't be entirely inappropriate. Grain like this can be easily reduced in most paid-for and free photo processing software... just go gently

Thanks - I usually use photoshop - just to enhance the pic here and there.
