I intentionally shot it out of focus for softness, then poured on the grain to try and approximate the texture of canvas and style of pointilism. I hope somebody likes it. I do.

I like it too. It immediately jumps right off the page. This is an excellent example of an image that has been shot off focus with intent.

'I hope somebody likes it' - well, I did, and gave it an 8. I can't believe it is languishing down near the bottom of the rankings. The soft focus was lovely, and yes, I do think the noise gave it the feel of a pointilism painting. And I still like it, too!

If this is natural grainy photo, you'll be blue...

To much grain in my opinion.

I'm a fan of pointilism, and like that you took this challenge a bit further and moved it into a different realm. Unfortunately, I don't find enough interest in the subject for it to work for me. Hope you'll try this with some other subjects - a really great idea.
