Sunset Rowing

San Diego Bay. Hasselblad 503CX 150mm Sonnar Lens. Portra 160 VC f/11

1/500 sec. Your critique is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jon

There are a lot of spots on this negative. Not sure how you scanned it in, or the condition of the original but it looks to be damaged.

It's such a gorgeous copper tone throughout the picture; it's a shame about the spots. I read your details and saw that you didn't manipulate this, so I'm hesitant to ask... Did you (or would you) consider cloning them out?

Thanks much. The neg is not damaged, this is simply a scan of a 5x5 proof. Probably my 4th or 5th scan w/a new home machine. -Jon

Love the image, the spots are a detraction. I never have had much luck with scanners. Because the image is so lovely, I'd retouch in P/S to make it like the original.
