Philippe,
I like the image as a defining family record of mother and daughter.  The
wide view does indeed add to the information of place and possibly why.  As
to grain, I get almost grainless images using Acros and Xtol at 1:3.
Effective film speed is between 100 and 125.  Is the grain in the negative
or does it show up in the scan?
