Just got home, so I read your post now. IMHO. It's much better now. In B&W it tells a story.

I wasn't very happy about the image quality, just happy of having caught the moment rather than having not. B&W didn't come to my mind as it is a scan from color film, but I gave it a try and a little crop, I think this really works better: http://www.vollholz.de/peso/no_fun_bw.html It's probably a bit harsh, but it is less distracting, I think.
