Matt just curious. How old was the film and what kind of film was it?

Also below is a link to a processed version of the image. I chose this image
because I could not make it look as nice as I want. I am hoping that y'all
will show me a thing or two with it. That said, this is a difficult image.
It has major vignetting and red fogging (probably from film age and or
humidity). If you're new to image processing, this is a tough image to start
with.

validity.
