Nice gritty urban shot. Good angle and viewpoint. Just the right amount of exposure.

Love the grainy look - fits the shot well.

A very nice image that meets the challenge well. I'm sure many will comment about too much grain, but I personally feel it works well and compliments the gritty subway surroundings.

I actually like the grain on this one. Did you add it or is it from high ISO in camera?

I love the grainy feel of this image. It makes me think of 1950s NYC street photography.

I like grain but I'm sure many won't. Does it add to the original image?

too grainy

Meets the challenge. I guess you were going for a grainy look here. The motion you got with the blurred logo didn't extend to the passenger on the train. I gave this a 3.

Quite a grainy photo but I think it adds to the effect which is what I hope you were going for! A little blurred from movement which I personally don't like - could have been either more or less - but still a nice photo.

This shot almost looks like a lithograph... I'm glad you didn't get sucked into the 'neat image' pit of dispair and clean this up. The noise makes a fairly mundane image interesting IMHO.

the grain works great with this shot

I like this shot. It would be nicer with less grain.

and immediately after taking this shot you were wrestled to the ground by an MTA cop... nice gritty feel, i like the lines and the tone. and, thank you for not being too chicken (i am) to take pics in the subway.

A little too grainy...
 08/11/2004 12:57:24 PM
IIn my opinion the noise or stippling detracts from the picture.Did you use it to cover up some other problem, like a blurry image?
 08/11/2004 10:05:33 AM
I think this is too grainey, but I like the shot.

Nice VP, I like the added Grain. It looks like it could be used in an ad on the same train.

Good raw quality.

I'm guessing that the grainy touch was intential, however a bit strong.
 08/11/2004 02:10:32 AM
the grain is almost too much but it's cool

excellent.

I think there will be an arguement about it, but I like the graininess, and the black and white. This also has a good vanishing point. 10
