Still Silent

Okay... whoah! This is an absolutely brilliant image. Please tell me that the snow is real and not an added effect. Coming back to bump this up now that the image has been validated. You have a great eye. Graining is subtle, but effective and enhances the mood. - 10

Definitely a dreamy image. Grain and toning work very well here. Focus and shallow DOF also work quite well. - 9

Great street image. The older woman, the young woman in the add, and the faceless sillouette in the window (photographer?) create a very good sense of drama, anticipation, and mystery. - 9

Maple Syrup the Old Fashioned Way

Really like this one, even though the graining is so subtle. (As an old film shooter, I would consider this to be a practically grainless image.) Scoring at a 9, but would probably have bumped to a 10 if there had been more detail in the man's face. - 9

A fun candid. The grain works well here. This looks very 60s/70s. - 8

Fast Life, Short Life

Very cool shot. Don't generally like these "looking down the barrel of a gun" images, but this one just makes me realize that the others I've seen just weren't done very well. Focus and shallow DOF make the shot very dramatic and give the impression of being brought up short. Graining done well and adds to the overall effect. The shot has a cinematic feel to it. - 9

There is so much wonderful stuff going on this shot! Lighting, grain and toning are all perfect and provide the perfect mood to suit the title and subject. Very erie. - 9

A wonderful portrait with an excellent use of grain. The textures of the light and grain the background is particularly pleasing, and the blown out highlights in the hair and on the shoulder are very effective. - 10

To walk alone

Very nice, dynamic shot. Graining adds to the feel of motion and the isolation of the subject. Well done - 10.
