Sunset on the Gulf of Mexico - Unretouched Photo

I took this photo using an old Argus 35 MM Camera that had been given to me. It was actually the very first set of photos I took with it.

Nice sunset. A bit grainy, but it's understandable

Thanks for the comments.

I can best explain that graininess this way: I made the mistake of having the original photos printed on matte paper. Due to that, when scanning the photos, the scanner picks that up and produces the 'awful' grainy appearance. If I'd have printed on glossy paper, I'm sure it would look much better.

Also, I should mention that the photo, itself, is about 30 years old.

(Man, did I just give away my old age!
