That one looks like a painting. Gotta love the super-saturated colors from the chromes.

Trying to figure out your scanner. Noritsu Koki? Commercial equipment?

Scan Cafe has done almost all the scans of my chromes including all those from Alaska (the flowers pictured were in a demonstration garden in Palmer, Alaska). More recently I've experimented with one of those tiny desk-top scanners. Not sure I see all that much difference. IMHO chromes lose a great deal of IQ when scanned, and I've generally been disappointed with them. However, I must have over 100,00 of them covering all kinds of things and places. After all, I was younger and more active, even if the necessity to earn a living cut into photo-time. New digital files needing PP are now interfering with scan-plans.

OK that makes sense, that would be Scan Cafe equipment. I do not have that many chromes but thousands anyway and would like to scan at least a selection of them but just haven't gotten started.
