Excellent photo---subject, composition, color, and sun flare! How many people walk by this spot and never see it the way you did? Thanks for sharing!

Very very nice. I'm also a medium format user (Rollieflex Planar). Assuming your tranparency was scanned, can you share some details of your scanning procedure.

I'm not getting the full potential of my MF negs and am looking at various methods to upgrade such as wet scanning and/or purchasing a better scanner.

Good old Rollei. I helped pay my way through undergraduate school with an old Rollei 2.8D. I really don't do my own scanning - rather I have this done by the initial processor and later in high def for those special photos. However, processors I have tried lately cannot seem to get a decent scan from roll film negs or transparencies.

I do have a Canon 8600 F for prints and such. I have used it to scan old B&W negs but at some point it became useless for 120 transparencies and negs - the image was out ot focus. I have tried scanning using the spacers furnished by Canon and with the film in contact with the glass. I have tried wet scanning and still found image fuzziness. I had a professional photog buddy try scanning with his best Epson scanner with no Joy. There are two professional scanning services here in Kansas City who both can get fine scanning results but they charge a terrific toll.

Frankly, I haven't shot film for several years. I do most of my work with a Sony 900, a Nikon D7000 or a Pentax 645D.

I really do like using my Rolleiflex, but I'm currently limited to scanning at 2400 ppi and the results are inferior to images from my 60D (18mb) fitted with a good lens. I am having a friend wet scan a 6x6 negative so I can compare it to my dry scans. If better, I plan to try wet scanning on my old Epson 2450.

The 2450 seems to work fine for scanning 4x5 negs, probably because the files don't need to be enlarged nearly as much

Very very cool!

Forgot to mention, my parents (passed but were farmers in central Kansas) had a sculpture made from hay rake wheels like in your image. I can't tell from the image whether this is of a working rake or a sculpture made from the rakes, but I like it in either case.
