The grain definitely adds needed texture. I didn't see the original but feel this is an excellent use of grain to enhance. It provides a moodiness that would otherwise not be there. Good work!

6 - Good sharpness. Criticism; seems reflection/lighting issues on the head and assuming this is an exhibition/tank set-up, not sure how you could have avoided this - perhaps trying to adjust it in pp after, who knows. I like the sharpness on the eye, if that could follow through to the tip of the 'nose'/mouth, make this even better in my opinion. Quality dependent, a tighter and different crop too. Also seems to be a purple 'tinge' here and there, but that may again be a result of the artificial lighting. edit:typo

He's facing the short side of the frame with nowhere to go. Next time, give the subject viewing room.
