Thanks for posting a comparison Shutterman. Velvia seems to have a magenta colour cast, that may also be due to the colour temperature of the late afternoon, and Shutterman using AWB.
I've just tried adjusting in PS adding a blue cooling filter (the old fashioned method) and it balances out nicely. Try it yourself, i used Layer>New Layer Adjustment>Photo Filter> selected cooling filter 82. I think the film (velvia) image is far superior. The digital version looks flat by comparison, no disrespect meant to Shutterman.
Fraggle, I've been following your last few posts on here. If you can churn out this type of picture, you may have to change your last name to an English county (not Essex). Stick with the film, it looks like it's working.
