1. From the original scans

to my laptop monitor the biggest fifference seems to be contrast. Small dpi with a higher contrast. For online sharing I see no real difference once the image hits the DU site and no difference on the Flikr site.
It would seem to be a waste of time to scan at more than 300 dpi for web publishing.

Later I will try some printing out to see what the higher resolutions give me. If you want to go to 8X10 adn beyond it might be better to scan at higher res.

2. The technical aspects are interesting, as is the photo itself.

Rotating the photo 180 degrees presents the same tranquil scene.
