now, mind you, this is a scan with a flat bed scanner that cost under $200. shot at f/1.9 (wide open) and no sharpening applied whatsoever. so you're losing sharpness in all directions: (missed focus margin, and film curl distance from scanner sensor, etc...).
i applied a generous flat curve and got the colors as close as i had the patience for using the Epson Scan software.

Wow! That is nice and she is yummy. I zoomed in on the focus point, taking into account your f/1.9 setting and you can almost touch the detail. 6400 dpi!!! You could blow that up to billboard size. (Maybe that's what you're doing).
