I don't think it's the grain/noise that is the main problem although there is a little too much of it. I get the feeling that the original image itself was a bit less that nicely sharp so you tried to cover that up by making it black and white and adding noise. I do that a lot too but find it rarely works. The best grainy vintage looking black and whites usually come from sharp clean color images. :)

I still like this image though. It looks better from farther away.

This is going in my favorites right away! Lynx are my favorite animal and I never see good photos of them and they're always hiding when I go to the zoo. Thanks for sharing!

I can't believe this didn't break 6! It was one of my favorites in the challenge. I suppose it just wasn't great for "travel guides"
