I just LOVE this shot. The grain/noise works so well for this photo too. Your eye just reaches out and grabs the viewers attention. Great Job!

Noisemeisters unite! Noise is used to good effect here. I love that blur of flowers in the background. It really does seem as though smell is all that's left of them. 8ish bump to 10

Very nice, the DOF, detail and grain is super cool. The composition is also quite interesting. Great job!

Interesting use of noise/grain. Lighting in the eyes is nice. Added after the fact?

Very most excellent. Love the grain, and especially the fact the eye is perfectly clear. Window to the soul and all that.

I have mixed emotions about this photo. Don't get me wrong, something about this photo draws me in, and I think it is due to the intensity of him looking straight into the camera, and that uniquely, you don't see his whole face. I also like the blur of the background. This is totally my opinion, and does not take anything away from the good job you did, but something about this photo is a little creepy to me. haha I don't know why, and maybe I'm just being a girl about it, but it still is a great job.

The grain works so well here. Outstanding job. This shot keeps growing on me too. Bumping up.

Wow!

Nice shot - it is very striking. Too bad the shoulder of the person is grainy as well as the background. Just having the background grainy and the entire person in the foreground more sharp would be better in my opinion.

this is either about farting and being embarassed, sticking one's hands in some panties and being a perverted sex-addict, smoking the good old marijuana, or missing somebody dead. I don't know which but that's what makes it work for me. Great processing and presentation. One of my favorites in the challenge.

Excellent focus. I like the hint of grain. I'd have the frame be pure white, or maybe slightly grayer. Great eye!!
