This beautiful angel is at a cemetery near my house. I got up early to make use of the morning light. I think that it paid off. I like the aurora around her, it adds to the mood of the image. As far as editing goes, I resized; adjusted the lighting and color; and added my layer of grain.

For me, I wonder if this would be stronger as a black and white photo. Also, image grain kind of gives photos a gritty, moody kind of look whereas your subject is smiling.

Not sure the grain matches this shot. At least for me the expression here brings more light to mind than grain and dark. Still a good effort.

This is just beautiful! I love the mood that the grain enhances in this photo. I love the colors. I really love everything about it! 10

I think the noise would look better monochromatic instead of color

I like what the grain does to this shot. It seems a bit flat though. Hmmm - I wonder if maybe you pulled away just a bit to have some more negative space around her. I do like the detail of the smiling and the hand though.

The grain in the sky tends to spoil it here,
maybe selective editing would improve it? my opinion of course. Good luck.
