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.

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

I like the darker colors and tones, creates a very moody image.

What lens are you using?

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.

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.

The guy's just a troll , usually polluting the film forum .

I'm supposed he's not claimed it's overexposed as well , as he seems to not understand exposure either .

That said it's dubious if he's ever used a camera anyway , he seems to just like trying to wind people up .

I have him on my ignore list , it's only when someone quotes his drivel I see what's written .

.

Regards the colour , it's looks like you've just entered the "blue hour " after the sunset .

The foreground would be much darker already , as non of the reds or yellows from the sun would be reaching here , therefore the colour looks correct and true to life .

Which you would know best , because you were there !

If you had warmed the scene as he suggests , I would have thought it would look quite false , and the evening atmosphere would be lost .

( In which case he'd be wining that it should be much bluer ! )

.Thank you so much for your kind words

Regards dust and scratches , anything that I can see on the image when displayed filling the screen , I remove , film or digital .

If your pixel peeping enough when viewing a shared image to find dust at that level you've already stopped looking at the picture and trying to look cleaver picking fault .

That said he might have been looking at the two canoeists and the grains of sand thinking they were dust !

Thanks for sharing , be please keep doing so .

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.

I will do and  again thx for the kind words

You nailed it.  Thanks
