    The one thing about digitally aging photos in photoshop is, I can never get the grain to look orgainic. This photo has the same problem, the grain looks like digital noise.

    I agree with Bruck. The grain in your picture is actually chroma noise, which is strange. You could have rather added film grain in Lightroom.
