I enjoyed this one during the challenge. I like the grain. Almost a Pointillist effect.
I think the cropping would have worked better higher from the bottom of the picture, or lower showing the mouth. The nose leads away from the eyes, which are the highlight of the picture as it is.

The left side of the frame goes a bit dark. The eye is lost in shadow at the left edge. Contrast is a smidge high, the ridge and tip of the nose are starting to burn out.

Focus is good, depth of field is good. The mode̢۪s eyes really make this piece, which is why I would vote for a tighter crop. Lot of expression there. I like the angle to the face from the camera. I voted a 7 in the challenge, and on reflection it still holds up.

Interesting, and at least it doesn't look the same as every other photo submitted, but I don't think the grainy look works. 5

I'm not sure what the technical reason for the "graininess" is, but oddly enough, I like the effect, and find the photo to be interesting to look at.
