I hadn't calculated the reciprocity correction so the neg is a little thin. Another thing is that I'm taking the scan from a color negative with a really "Rube Goldberg" method of scanning and the orange mask decreases contrast a lot. Thank you very much.

The statue photo is exceptionally sharp. I especially like the long span perspective of the Ben Franklin bridge. I'd like to see you shoot the skyline again, maybe a little longer exposure to bring up the highlights. Looks like you're having a lot of fun with that camera. The Optar works.
