I don't think it's the grain/noise that is the main problem although there is a little too much of it. I get the feeling that the original image itself was a bit less that nicely sharp so you tried to cover that up by making it black and white and adding noise. I do that a lot too but find it rarely works. The best grainy vintage looking black and whites usually come from sharp clean color images. :)
I still like this image though. It looks better from farther away. |

| Nice B&W pic. I think the main problem is that the grain is too coarse. Maybe a finer grain and/or less amount of grain would improve it? With this much coarse grain a lot of detail is lost. |

| It's a fine portrait, the composition is good, but like you say there is a little too much noise in it. |

| I like the way you've framed this portrait. A lot of people (me included) feel the need to show the whole horse, or don't know where the most graceful crop would be, but you've done a nice job on this piece. He looks good in black and white because of the multi-colored nature of his coat, but I do think there's a bit much noise. |
