What she said. A really well crafted photo especially the composition.

Really liked this - especially the processing - was an 8 from me :)

I didn't vote on this challenge, but I suspect I would have probably given this a 6 or maybe 7 - I thin it is rather lovely. You conjure up a feeling of melancholy, of sadness and dejection, which the grain helps to emphasise. Yes, I like it

Love the image. Don't really understand the connection to the title or challenge.

Interesting idea; not entirely sure the noise is working for me to enhance the image.

The grain is really cool with the lighting and colors, but the actual image of the flowers seems oof, or too soft.

I like the tight composition here, also the effect that grainess adds, as if trying to be closer to the subjects, but still far from seeing their intimate relationship, conveyed by the title, which, by the way, I find a bit "silly" (pardon!) for not being complete with the "why", because I think these photos should have a life longer than the challenge.

This is one of those love it or hate it photos. I am sure you will be told about the grain by many commenter. I happen to like it a lot, and think the grain adds a new dimension to the flowers. This is not just an image of more boring flowers.

Not a very clear picture, and it doesn't seem to match the title.

I don't really like how grainy the photo is. If this is what you were after then it turned out great. There are some people on here who may like it...just not me. Great idea though.

the graininess doesn't seem too appealing but it could be just me

I do not like the processing....

I am not a good photographer, I do not claim to be better than anyone, any criticism is meant to be constructive criticism......

You have taken an "ordinary" shot and made it into so much more. I think the grain works well with the emotion you are conveying.
