The grain is tastefully done though could be more subtle.

Nice diagonal line from the head of the fawn to the tail. Also, the tree trunks provide context. Two things though that I am finding distracting, the legs appear to be over exposed and the crop is a little too tight on the top. Otherwise, the effect really promotes the texture of the animal's fur.

Noise isn't all that attractive especially when applied to the extreme. One way to make it more pleasing is to copy the background layer, apply a Gaussian blur and then blend the layers with colour. This converts the noise to black and white making it more like film grain.

Applying a little less noise and using the Gaussian blur technique could have made this image work. As it is I feel it's been over done.

As the eye is led to the cross at the top I think it may work better as a vertical composition with a little more space above the cross.

Good choice of subject however the border distracts as it is brighter than most of the image.

Though I like this image and the grain seems to work well, the two different hands, one old, one young, makes the image feel out of balance.

The grain works very well with your image however I feel that the border is quite distracting since it is brighter than any other part of the image.

Very cute portrait. A more subtle application of grain I think would have worked better.

The idea is good and the centered person seems to work. Ease up on the grain though.

Cool shot. Great exageration of camera shake. One thing though, the bottom left corner feels a little empty.
