Nice that you carry your camera to work and have occasion to use it. To me your image is a mixture of subjects that are at odds with the way you've captured them. The underexposed head stone keeps drawing my attention away from the leaves. Perhaps a properly exposed headstone with the resulting

There are no free scanner driving applications worth a damn. There is nothing even remotely comparable to Vuescan for under $150 or so. The only third-party scanning application that comes close and is the same price as Vuescan Standard Edition is SilverFast LE ($49), and then you get a

Depending upon when you bought Vuescan, and, after some point, which version you bought, upgrades are free. I paid for Vuescan in 2000 and have upgraded regularly. You should see whether your version supports free upgrades and get the latest. From http://www.hamrick.com/vsm.html :: VueScan
