Otherwise it is a nice photo. Second shot looses detail in the lower left quadrant and therefore offsets beauty of the upper right sky and sillohuette of boulders against said sky. IMO it is just the subject matter. Tough material and difficult to get the projector lamp effect to come through the scan. Try other scans with some more of your material and post it for us.
