Black point compensation sometimes will led to unwanted black clipping.
Assuming you use eyedropper tool, it has to be careful in choosen the black
point otherwise will bring the shadow color wrong.

You may try an sRGB scan to see if it is better.

Your flower seems lacking some clarity in my monitor especailly the yellow.
It looks like front focus as the object on the right size of the flower
seems sharper.

Since the samples are just for scanner RAW test, I haven't done any color
adjustment on these scans, usually some minor twist is require to bring the
color more accurate (for instant the Fuji need a little reduction on blue).
I think the warmness is due to evening sun, it should be even warmer as I
see the white water which facing the sun is a little high on the 'Blue'
values. Just corrected it here:
