Hi Don,

Really well done on two counts: first, to salvage and scan such a grossly
underexposed film to produce a good image; and second, to capture the scene
like this--I really like the motion blur on the man leaving the donut shop, he
is in a hurry as if he cannot wait to get home (or, this being Atlanta, to his
car...) to sink his teeth into the contents of the box.
