Umm... Jason, 100 ISO film shouldn't be giving you grain. It should be the opposite, actually. Generally, the faster the film, the grainer it is. So the grain is probably the result of the size conversion. If this is the first time you've used 100 ISO film, then you've done a really good job! Keep posting.

Charles,
Actually I have the photo shop scan the negatives into there system and burn them onto a CD. I think the strange lighting you are referring to is a flash I was using. I am still trying to learn how to use indoors. The aperture was closed to increase the depth of field but my light source was not bright enough to offset the effect.
Matt,
The only editing I did to this photo was to resample it to 640 X 480. The graininess you are seeing is the 100 speed film I was using. This is my first experience using film that is this slow. I differently needed to increase my light source and possibly increase my film speed or my exposure.
As always thank you for comments. Maybe one of these days I will get it right.

It appears that you were not happy with the focus, or you sharpened as a general rule - but you have overdone it. It has the artificial graininess of too strong of unsharp masking.

Something seems a bit odd here. it looks to me like the light is imparting an unnatural color cast. It also looks like the image is speckled a bit like it was underexposed then lightened and sharpened after scanning. sometimes scanned images of textured prints can do this as well. one solid vote for glossy prints, they scan with fewer surprises. I like the composition, but it looks like the transition from film to print to display added some artifacts that detract from a pleasing image.
The notes indicate you were using auto exposure. The FE has a meter with a serious center weighting to it. Manual exposure would have allowed you to consider the ambient light and then you could have opened up a bit to brighten the darker accessories around the edges of your composition.
