Hmmm, judging by your comments, either people loved the shot, or they didn't.

To me, this shot is a paradox in ways. So many of the elements just don't "go" together. This can be a negative as well as a positive. On the one hand, the juxtaposition of the grain, the person's smile, and the background makes the whole scene rather surreal, and possibly even uneasy feeling. His look is a natural smile, but not one that you would expect to see hanging in front of sides of meat. The grain gives it that "editorial--must see--important" feeling, but nothing in the shot supports that.

On the other hand, if you were trying to make the viewer go, "Something is definitely weird here" you did that well.

In my own opinion, I don't think the grain adds to the shot here, but then I don't think it detracts from it either. It is one of those subjects that by adding grain, you met the challenge qualifications.

A very interesting shot.

I don't feel as though the grain adds anything to this image.
Especially with him smiling.

I do not think the grain adds anything to this shot. I also think it would have been more interesting if he were handling the meat,

snapshot with no appealing value to me. Cooks and slabs of meat just arent interesting.
