Don Roberts - Red Truck: I like this classical industrial composition,
but the color doesn’t settle with me just right. Perhaps you were
going for a faded “red”, but it looks more orange to me. There also
seems to be this reflective glow, making the color bleed into the
shadows that takes away from the sharpness of the image (could this be
from the scan?).

That is evidently what happened here, Trevor. I was indeed going for a
more red color but lost it somewhere along the way. I believe the
"glow" you mention must be an artifact from the scanning; I did have a
hard time getting the scan settings right for some reason. I am afraid
that I really can't see the color cast but I know it was there at one
time in the process so my old eyes are not as keen as they used to be.
Thanks for the review. I tend to like classical compositions if they
are done right.
