New guy- Why is my photo so grainy?

I don't really see the noise...I see horrible image compression since you're uploading to Photobucket.

haha I didn't know photobucket sucked. The raw does look better... Anyways, thank you guys for the feedback. Will try to continue to improve!

Photobucket doesn't suck.
I've been using it for years now with no complaints.
