Thanks, Moose. It was my first camera and was not aware enough
(and maybe still am) to avoid mergers. The white statue sitting
on the piano is a distraction. I'm not sure if the grain is natural for
Ektachrome or if this was the result of some bad lab processing.
I have not yet fully cleaned my film scanner. I'll have to rescan and
see if I can get a better result. It is probably a bit under exposed
which adds to the grain effect. I'm sure my family would not mind
if the statue disappeared from the piano.
This shot makes me feel I should just use a 50mm lens for a while
to help get back my vision.
