First of all... does it fit the challenge? Yes... and those who could not see the grain must have fairly low resolution screens. The nice light application of grain really adds to this image, I think you did a wonderful job of it!
On to specifics...
First of all, I find this shot to be incredibly beautiful, and very well done...
In terms of composition... I can't decide whether I like the composition or not... it's not your everyday type of portrait and composition... but it's not your everyday type of picture... it goes above and beyond the "typical" which is very good. Rules are meant to be broken, and to me, I kind of like that he is centered with light on one side and dark on the other. I guess it would have been interesting to try shooting this from a bit towards his front and maybe getting down lower... or for a dramatic "small and scared" look bringing the camera up fairly high and shooting down?
Your lighting, as you've heard in your comments is beautiful. You did a magnificent job with it, and the high contrast is spectacular. The way that the light doesn't really let you see his face, adds to the feeling of loneliness, and I love that the light really touches on the rips in the jeans. I'm almost feeling if you were a bit younger that you had been grounded by your mother... possibly for ripping your jeans... hehehe. As you are older, this photo is more dramatic, it almost makes me think of someone who was abused, and has led a life filled with hardship... someone who is afraid of society, and hiding from the light... wanting to go more towards the darkness.
The fact that I am able to delve so deeply into this photo is an excellent thing... I really don't find it often, and rarely on DPC.
Overall a fantastic job... I'm now going to check out your other work!!

I still like this. And the black on the right held several messages for me,(especially with the word AGAIN in the title), consequently I felt it very necessary to the mood of the shot. You are a ribbon winner to me.

| Very dramatic shot. Light grain is the right choice as heavy grain would have ruined it. I may have cropped so he was against the side of the frame but still very nice. Bumping this one up. |

| It doesn's seem as if you made grain an intergral part of the message here, but I really like this. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that it was more pronounced at a larger image size. |

| Very nice image, great light, but I'm not sure I like the composition. I'd like to crop just a little bit off the left side. |

| Where is the image grain? Not sure how I feel about this image. I have tried to see grain, but fail to. However, the image seems to keep me returning for another look. |

| The lighting is very nice but for balance I feel the image should be cropped a bit on the right. |

| Black and White and more grain would have really set this off in my opinion. The pose and title/light are really good however. |
