Awesome! Really beautiful use of the grain. It adds tons to the photo. 9.

Good shot, however it appears that color noise was added to a B/W photo. Perhaps you should have desaturated after adding the noise? It's quite distracting.

Wonderful title :-) The lighting on this shot is really good, and I love how the right hand is lighter than the left (almost symbolizing the key colors!) I might be interested to see this shot with a little more space at either the top or the bottom of the photo to try and get the hands in more of a 1/3 position. But great shot and the grain goes over well!

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.
