Aperture: 5.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/80

Last minute change of entries, going from one that I loved that had actual grain due to high ISO and major levels adjustment to this one that I also love for different reasons. The grain was added in post-processing. Compositionally, this one is much better than the other. The other had major cute factor to it.... blah blah blah

Don't know if I'll be kicking myself for pulling real and using artificial ..... but I'm sick of flip flopping so here it is.

I gave this one an 8, the little girl is beautiful, her expression is perfectly captured and there is just the right amount of grain in it.

She's beautiful. I like her pose and your color treatment. Just enough grain without going overboard. I don't think the tilted perspective quite works here, or maybe it's just too tilted.

Great angle. More grain may have helped....Im sure you experimented with it. Very nice portrait in a very unconventional way.

A nice candid portrait. The very subtle grain really helps, in my opinion.

This is really quite a lovely portrait of a pretty girl. I like the different angle, and it looks likes she's daydreaming. Had there been more grain (or noise) I would have scored this higher. Definitely a picture to be proud of.

This is a nice image and for another challenge it may be ok. But I just don't see image grain in this image. Her face is absolutely clear. Her arm appears a bit grainy, but nothing else does.

That's a nice portrait - I really like it. the grain gives class to a classic B&W shot, you really captured how grain can add to a photo. Well done.

What a classically beautiful little girl! Very nice capture, love the composition and the use of grain. You should do well with this.

Excellent picture, but I will say I was hoping for much more grain. What is it adding here?

Beautiful portrait. DOes give you that sense of long ago. Really nice. I'm a fan of lots of grain, but this is stunning without it.
