Nice photos, but geez, Skorj, whatever you're doing to scan your film, you're clearly a lot better at it than I am.
No kidding. That middle one is intense! I don't think it is just that scanning ;)

Oh no, it's clearly not just the scanning, but I'd kill (probably repeatedly, but I've had a long day) to get scans that good.
Any man who can see what he wants to get on film will usually find some way to get it;
and a man who thinks his equipment is going to see for him is not going to get much of anything.

Might I point out that this was your post #666? ;)

Robert Johnson traded his soul for mad blues skills. Maybe O2 could find a crossroads nearby and get him some mad scanning skills!!

I'm selling my trendy bicycle so I decided to have some fun with the craigslist posting.

Thanks again everyone. I suspect it is a combination of lens, film, decent processing, good latitude exploitation (metering correctly), and scanning combined. My scanner is a Japan market Epson GT-9400, which is essentially similar to non-JDM machines, and the conventional Epson scanner package in pro-mode. Sometimes I get this luminosity that can only come from film, and it is one of the reasons why I continue to shoot the stuff. But, if you're here, you already know that!
