Here's one I dredged up from the bottom of the drawer. It wasn't even in a protective sleeve, so I had to blow off the dust.  Believe it or not, I AM more organized than one might think from that statement. 
The scanner is really "treating me well" these days, so I thought I'd run this transparency through the mill...
I sort of wish I had used Velvia for a bit more pop in the blue colors, but perhaps the Provia really shows a better facsimile of the light that morning.
I could always "add" color I guess, but I really hate to do that unless it's really necessary.
Platinum and Chromium - Second Beach
Yashica Mat 124
Yashinon 80/3.5
f:16 and 1/125th

Just tell me when your first exhibition will start, for me this is great art!

Hi, Laurence,
to my eyes you are certainly one of the best photographers in this group. Your pictures of ferns were already stunning, and this landscape is a picture to get lost into while looking at it. The composition, the colours, the atmosphere,

My admiration

for a while, I felt it would work.

Thomas, it's the scenery that shines, I am lucky to have
this kind of scenery. And really, all I have to do is point
the camera!

I think the colors are perfect as they are too. Maybe a small change wouldn't hurt but it wouldn't make it better either. Provia is really faithful for natural light.
By the way, how did you meter for this shot? |

Wow! I'm overwhelmed.
You guys give me a lot of encouragement, and it feels good to think that my images are well liked here. I totally appreciate it, and I certainly love any suggestions on improving.
Thank you all very much.
For the one question by Naplam: How did you meter for this shot?
Naplam, I used Sunny 16 here, as my meter on the Pentax had been acting up from very low batteries. 
Just basically set the exposure and speed to knowing that "full sun" would be the reciprocal of the film speed at f:16.
Following the steps, and knowing that I only wanted to "meter" for the bright light it was simply using the 100 speed of the provia at 1/125th.
