color correction can be subjective

This one is so shifted toward cyan and blue. Even the sand is blue. A small bit of correction toward red and yellow in the middle values really helps it.

Color correction its a subjective matter, it depends on the message or mood the photographer want to capture. I kind of like the image as it is.

I'm curious as to why you would not retouch all the dust before presenting work.

Not all are dust spots some are scratches on the film surface. It puzzles me why people don't retouch those from their digital scans. And has nothing to do with the medium being used.

But being subjective is sometimes simply an excuse to not learn it and tackle it. Sometimes horribly wrong color is used to good effect. That's rare. Bad color is usually just bad color, as it is here.
