The grunge effect looks good. On a grunge scale of 1 - 10, with 10 being "extreme grunge" (like SJCarters posts), I would give it a 5.
Aside from that, I think the angle of the shot could be better. Low shots, angled up like that seem less flattering to the subject than a straight on or angled down shot. Just my opinion though. Good work nonetheless. |

doesn't really look too grungy to me. it's dark and contrasty, but doesn't look dirty.
I like it the way it is though.

I agree about the angle, but I'd say that because on women/girls it makes them look.. umm.. "pear shaped" I guess is the most PC thing to say there.

The wall might have a little grunge, but the subject is "bright and white." I think for it to work effectively , let's get down and dirty with the entire image. The up angle might work better that way too. Just my opinion. I think a 5 is about what I'd say as well. Keep trying - it's fun! ;~)

| Not having seen the original, I would venture to guess that you started out with the contrast too high. In order to bring out all the textures and "grunge" of the surfaces (at least the way I did it), you need to lighten everything to start with - so that you have somewhere to go. (If I'm making any sense at all...) Decrease the difference between the contrasting elements at the beginning, so that you can increase them at the end. As it currently stands, your light areas are too bright and your dark areas too dark to go much further. |

I guess "grunge" is different for everyone?
This is how I see it:
