This was one of my favorites -- lines, shapes, grain. Great stuff!

Congrats on your PB, I ranked this high, was a very good choice for this challenge and just enough graininess, bummer no clouds but it is still a great shot

I like this photo - but think I would have liked it better if it was in color. Was the lighthouse red? That might of made it pop more. Nice job though!

I really like the simplicity and small relative scale of the lighthouse here. I think the grain is quite effective in this photo.

Pity there weren't some nice clouds in this photo but we can't just 'order' these things can we? Good positioning of the horizon and the lighthouse though and I think the subject suits the grainy texture well.

Nice set up and lighting, but something seems strange with the grain in this photo - it seems to have color to it...I swear I see pinks and greens

The added noise/grain really works for this shot, but would've like to see the grain in monochrome here, not in color.
