I really like this a lot. The grain does help convey the mood of the photo. It looks like it belongs. Good job.

This is a very fitting grain picture. The grain looks like it belongs, and adds a lot to the picture. I think the picture might have had more impact if it utilized the rule of thirds and had her off to one side instead of dead center. But I think the picture is really strong anyway.

I have always so wanted to capture a shot like this. Either you have to be in one heck of a lightning storm, or be very patient, huh? Beautiful job! The grain is nice too.

Powerful image. II am particularly drawn to the culture and time this photo represents. It's one of my favorites. I love your use of sepia, and I love the expression on her face. Great job. My only suggestion would be to maybe not center her so straight-up-the-middle. Maybe have her off to one side -- adding the rule of thirds interest to your photo. But I really love it anyway!

How beautiful!!!! This is one where the grain really does enhance the photo. It's the type of wonderful photo that never ages. You only have such a brief time that you could capture a photo like this because they grow so fast. You will treasure it forever. Great job.
