Good, but more 'lightness' might be needed in order to do this justice. The highlights seem a bit too dark and, thus, uninteresting. I would have liked to see the negative: underexposed or simply too little development? The photo had possibilities. But, in your defense, Hi Ho, the scan just might be the culprit.

One thing I would like to know is this: how does one scan a negative and turn the tones 180 degrees to make a positive? - David
 
David, Thank you. It *is* showing a bit darker here - possibly my lack of monitor calibration - which ran out of adjustment. Landscape images from the roll look well exposed, but the ones w/ lots of shadow or high contrast look thin. I'm probably still getting fooled on exposure. I appreciate your thoughts & kind help.

Others will surely have forgotten more than I know, but I suspect that if a tone value varies between 0-255 - that its just math executed by code that selects an equivalent distance from the other end of the variable limits - such as a blazing white at a value of 254 would be converted to opaque black at a value of 1.
