> While in France a few years ago for a class trip, I took several film rolls of pictures. A few of them turned out quite good. I just scanned one that I took while on a boat in the Seine River and submitted it to an online contest. (I spent quite a long time touching it up, too; what was dust doing on the *inside* of the glass plate of the scanner?) It can be found at the link below. There are a lot of great other pictures at that site too; click on 'Photo Contest Winners' at the bottom.

Yes. A great picture. You even used one of my favorite techniques. I shot a picture of a coconut palm against a setting sun the last time I was at Kona. I even used a disposable camera and still got a good picture. The tree came out totally black and all of the colors were in the sunset. I attribute mine to luck, but yours looks very professional.

Most of my pictures are of blurry vintage motorscooters and blurry grandchildren. The blurry motor scooters are the result of photographing them with their engines running. I'm not sure what's wrong with the kids.
