I think the white balance may be a bit out on this one, Phil. Looks pretty yellow on my screen.

It's a scan I did, so you can see my limited scanning capabilities. (The mossy rocks are a golden brown on the slide if that's what you mean by "white balance"?)

Phil.
What I mean by "white balance" is that, for me, it looks like there is a yellow cast over the whole photo - shadows, highlights etc.
In other words whilst the mossy rocks are golden brown the whole scene looks a bit too yellow overall.
The key is to find a neutral tone somewhere and use that to set the white balance. For example looking at the water in the rapids I would expect it to be "whiter" and less yellow than currently.

Also be warned that setting white balance of scans and colours etc can be very fiddly
And another consideration is - does the scan colour balance look the same as the slide viewed on a light table?
Because in most cases with slide film I think you'd want it to match the original, so to speak.

Not to say that you have to edit it; just an opinion in case it helps.

This one caught my eye on Flickr and I am pleased to see it here as well. Good work with the Zorki!

I've noticed an increase in sharpness, clarity and colour accuracy in your more recent posts - have you changed part of your process?

This is one was taken with my Pentax LX.
I got a SMC Pentax 55mm f/1.8 for it, but discovered it has some focusing issues.
Other lenses were fine so I sent it in for adjustments. This is from my first test roll after getting it back.
