Love teh graininess in the this... makes me feel I'm looking at an old b/w movie

I like the graininess. I am guessing you got many comments "too grainy". Ugh, people don't understand its artistic use. Nice work.

great ! not baseball/flower/child/bird....... actually conveys a decision, and I like the graininess, the DOF, composition. Well done.

the excessive grain is distracting.

This would have been great except for the noise/grainness

Really grainy shot, very good original idea though!

I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. Good pic.

I am not sure I like the high ISO in this photo, although that seems like a great technique to have in your toolbox.

I feel like the decision should be clear without having to read the title. In this case, it isn't, so even though it's a nice picture in its own right, I don't think it meets the challenge well...

I take it you have introduced the grain/noise. Personally it does nothing for me. Good luck
