I suspect that the grain has to do with the scan of the neg. It's a "medium resolution" scan (high resolution costs too much and is only worth it on a frame-by-frame basis for individual prints). It does tend to be flat and grainy, which is probably exacerbated by bright sunlight/deep shadows of that day. Most other photos that I've processed for a computer screen from these scans have not been nearly so grainy.
