Mojo!

Thanks for the comment. No. Thats not my real name. Calling myself Mat Bender could be misleading. (ha ha.)

I've posted the image again. Previously my scanner was automagically cropping off the right part of the image. So the right tower was almost touching the edge of the frame. I had to cut the film and mount it on a slide holder before the scanner can capture the whole image area.

Not too sure if it's my monitor. But it does looks a little dark and difficult to see clearly.

Perhaps lightening up the photo a little might be nice.

I don't think it is too blackish. I think it's too greyish. A little REAL black would make the rest seem lighter by comparison.

Nice picture, BTW!

PS. Do you use an AGFA scanner? If so, there's a new driver which fixes the cropping problem!

Thanks all for the comments.

Funny thing is that monitor brightness does affect how "blackish" the image appears.

I noticed it when viewing the same image at my office PC. I thought it looked pretty nice at home, but my home pc may have a brighter setting.

The image IS dark, and I have lighten it in photoshop to the extent that the highlights are almost washed out.

I'm using an Epson Perfection scanner. I've uploaded the latest drivers. It was doing all kinds of funny crops with the older driver, but now is better.

Do you think the image improves if I crop some sky off? Seems like too much sky, but I like the white borders from the slide mount.

May be a tighter crop of the sky can help, may be... But the shot is powerful as it is by now.

About your brightness problems... you should calibrate your monitors, so you'll see the same on both of them and you'll be sure that everyone of us are seeing exactly what you want to show. ;-)
