Missing You

This has a great 50s feel to it. The grain is almost too subtle here. That keeps it just shy of and 8. Nice pose, great pensive look. 7

Not something that works for me asthetically. It's very, very overly processed. But, it does hit the challenge square on the head. The image is enhanced by the grain. 7

Echo of a Time Gone By

Good idea, but the grain here looks more like noise than grain. Which I'm sure makes no sense. :) Hmmm, okay, better explination. The sky noise/grain stands out in a way that is visually unappealing. I'm thinking it's a color conversion issue. Possibly a different quadtone conversion would give the same impact....wait, just figured it out. There's a bit of a hint of the green in the sky noise. This makes it less grainy and more noisy...and you are still looking at me like I'm smoking crack. Sorry. :) 6

The grain is highly effective here, but the figure in the foreground is overly sharp. When/if you repost process this one it might help to not sharpen him when sharpening the rest of the image. Very cool shot. 7

One of the few examples of color grain that I've seen in this challenge that works. Very nice.

This one is interesting. It's not grainy in the traditional sense, but the sharp edges give it a feel that I like.

Horses love grain

I like how the horse and barn almost merge here. Very cool effect.

Guiding Light

Interesting approach here. It's got a very gothic feel to it. It's a bit too centered for me. I'd move a bit to get more of the building or the light on a thirds line.

Matterhorn - Pride of Switzerland

The foregtound clutter here is a bit distracting. This is a mountain that should give me a feeling of great majesty. As it is, I don't really feel the hight and granduer of the peak. A tigher crop might help that.

This image ends up being a bit two dimensional for me. I would consider trying to reshoot at an angle, possibly a table with some green visable behind the card to give the illusion of a putting green.
