The grain is some what bothersome to me. I feel it is too much and lessens the quality and feel of the image. I do like the lighting and posing.

Don't think you really need the title. Lots of noise but still clearly a single light source. I think it works well and fits the mood brought across by the shot. 7

I really like this shot! I like the film grain look, the pose of the model, and the light casting across his face. Good luck kin the challenge - I hope others are not scoring you down for the noise - it's really what give pop to this image.

I like this, though the dtail level shows through the noise, and makes it sem rero-fitted, rather than integral to the shooting.

Its a good effect combined with the aged subject. The hat is the defining touch

Too much noise actually, but good expression

The title detracts from the interesting image.

Aren't you a little too scrawny to hold a big gun like that? Heheh, kidding!
Why all this noise? I usually add noise to my photo to hide lack of sharpness, which I do not see here.
Anyways, I hope this does well.
