I really like this image. Beautiful flowers and think I have a shot some of the same. I enjoy the explanation of equipment used but still not sure how it all came together (I once had a Minolta film camera). Anyway, there is a little white spot to the right of the 2nd flower I would have cloned out. Maybe crop out the darker parts of the vignette, especially at top, maybe balance top and bottom somehow. The buds are fine. Perhaps clone out the one that’s center on far right edge. Only suggestions, great job. Marc

Just an after thought- the image looks so much like a double exposure, just curious if there might be another film stuck in the carrier? I have accidentally put 2 slides in the carrier and had similar results.

The 5000ED wouldn’t work with my Windows 11 Dell unless I bought software like Bill has or more expensive ones https://fixthephoto.com/best-photo-scanning-software.html . I resolved after several attempts by hooking up to a Windows 7 computer and using the Nikon software but your issue maybe more internal or mechanical. Assuming that you selected the right film type for the scan. The image above looks like a double exposure, ghostly, colors way off. Maybe one of the software versions has a free trial you can test to see if that helps. If all else fails, there was a person or shop online who can repair them.

It looks like a double exposure.

David, What computer and OS are you using? Also, what type of film are you scanning? The image kinda looks like you may have used the wrong film setting. The fact that you were able to get it to scan is pretty good. More information is needed to give a good reply.
