More of my own film devopment

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.

at least you get it ,yes I could have clean it up some but as far as color I wouldn't change a thing

Regarding the marks I usually remove them in Photoshop, as they aren't part of the image.If you prefer not to, it's ok too.

The way I scan my photos I need to adjust color always to remove the base color, I avoid going overboard with that. I see nothing wrong in this regard with your photo. Its very pleasing to me.

Keep posting your photos as they are excellent for those that started their photography with digital to learn the strengths of film.
