This just isn't working for me. To me, it seems that the grain is not really doing anything for this image other than taking away detail.

Hey Jew

Speaks volumes. I'm not even sure where to begin with a comment.

I'm not sure if this was staged, or you actually caught this boy being picked on for real, but it speaks more to me than most other images I have seen on DPC. I was raised Jewish and never got picked on for it, but I grew up in a largely Jewish area of Long Island. I was the kid that got picked on for everything else, however, and I have never forgotten the experience.

Since there is no vote of 20, I will have to give this a 10 and a fave.

Gruesome and disturbing. I think that was what you were after, so that would make this a success.

Very nice, but where is the grain?

At first glance this comes off as a snapshot and a quick 4, but the more I look at it, the more I realize that the components of this just work well together. Leads the eye nicely, interesting, but not overpowering textures, and good tonality on the b/w conversion. Actually it comes off to me similarly to my own recent "construction" entry, thought the subjects are totally different.

The grain is very subtle here. I like the look, though. I'm wondering if this was done with Nik Silver Efex.

Not sure if I should count this as grain or not, but it's different and I like the effect.

I like the shot, though the grain comes off to me a bit more as chrominance noise than image enhancing grain. Not that it matters to me where the grain comes from, simply that it enhances the image. I popped this into my photo editor and it looked good with the same treatment I used with my own entry.

The affordable choice for saying "I love you, but I am also a cheapskate".

Not caring for the negative image, I'm afraid.
