The noise in this looks very artificial and for me doesn't add to the image. Like the setup, composition, and tones however. - 6

really nice take on grain to add to this image - the white specks are pretty cool 6

This is great. I can't believe women used to clean the house in a skirt and heels. Yeeesh!

This is really a clever composition. I get the feeling I'm looking at a scene from the Leave it to Beaver family -- cleaning in her heals and dress. Great job.

A kind of confusing image: it has good points, and then strangely poor elements out of keeping with the overall feel of it. The sheer blackness and lack of detail in the brush, and yet the sense of pose in the feet/ankles. The decent light on the shapes of the legs, and the poor reflections on the floor. Why it should seem particularly suited to a grainy look I don't know. It hints at a film noir contrast and feel, but then presents this very domestic - even if dated - scene. Interesting, but for me, in the end, not quite successful.
