| I love this photo. The grain adds to the "memory" feel. |

Very nice. Love the way the texture and softness add to not only the softness of the baby but also with the idea of remembering something so far back.

Very nicely done. Grain, duotone and softness work very well here.
I regret the senseless tendency of dpc voters to over-rate razor-sharpness, noislessness and eye-blinding saturation.
In the real world of photography you must make choices like the one you did, depending on the story you are trying to tell.
The same people who have voted 5- would have probably voted 7+ for this photo if the challenge was "grain". That means many voters will not see beyond the tip of their nose unless they are forced to.

| How sweet is this? I love the closeup and the composition. It's so emotive and I am sure that as you look at this years later, it will often bring a smile to your face. I think I would have preferred a soft focus instead of the grain, but that's just a personal taste kind of thing. Cute pic! |

| Great use of grain, and the super close-up perspective turns this into an intriguing and delicate abstract. |

| I gave this a 7. The grain made it feel like an old old memory, and the composition is as comforting as... well... sucking your thumb. |

| I like it...like the grain and the softness. It does make me feel safe and secure too. I was a thumbsucker! Nice! |

| Beautiful work, I like your choice of DOF and ISO, it really gives me a feeling of looking back in time. Wonderful tones as well this REALLY works as a b/w shot, color just wouldn't cut it, great decision to go with b/w. |

| This looked great in thumbnail but the grain spoils it for me a bit |

| The grain and focus really work well, as does the square crop and b&w - which for me gives a real 'memory' feel. I think you've met the challenge better than most so far by it being such an evocative shot/edit. |

I love this image, the softness and the noise really give the feeling of both the blurred vision of a child and of a time long past.
The composition is fantastic and I cannot think of a better image. Straight to favourites |
