Default 26 Megapixel-like photos from film negative

Amazing. I had some film negatives(Fuji Reala and Fuji NHG 400 Pro) transferred to photo CD. They came back with this extremely high resolution:
Image Width: 6305
Image Height: 4181
It's like having photos taken with a 26 Megapixel camera. The digital photos are even sharper than the original prints from the film negative. You will find some examples below. Here is a link to see the complete set:

They are very nice clear shots.
Shes has lovely eyes and good facial features and makes a good portrait.
My only critism would be that your location background is a little off putting in them, eg, other people standing in the back ground.
To do her full justice you need to blur that background out a bit more in my oppinion.

Very clear photos, even at 1024 X 679 clear but I find at full resolution the pictures are not that sharp and have a lot of noise.

Thanks for your comments. This was a very busy autograph session and I could not redirect the traffic around her. I could have used my 135 mm 2.8 lens but I would not have been able to get the same close ups of her face and it would have included a lot space around her. We have to make the best of the particular shooting conditions we are in. I did use my 135mm lens for the autograph session of Lady Gaga, that you can also find on flickr and you can see the results here, although that was shot with a digital camera as opposed to a film camera:

My laptop screen has a resolution of only 1366 x 768. Houw can I see the full resolution of 6305 x 4181 without only seeing a portion of the image blown up? Thanks for your reply.

I think they are really good shots! Clear and sharp, and great lighting on her face. The background is blurred out enough and does not distract me at all. Nice work.

Thanks very much for your comment. These photos were taken 17 yrs ago when I first started to shoot film photos with an SLR, the 8000i by Minolta.
