grain is the sh*t...don't let anyone tell you otherwise.....
grain in digital can be odd so watch out...when you add it if it doesn't look like it makes up the image then it was a dumb choice, grain is silver in film (of cores) and that is the film (in very basic terms)...so if it looks as though the image is frozen or formed of the grain (with digital) then you've done it right....
and remember above all voters are stupid...all that matters is what you think (you might be out of favor but you'll be happy and secure in your work)
i'd venture to say that a fast (note: not all but a vast) amount of people here never worked with film to any real degree so they don't get grain...yet when the look back they respect the look its funny really but be that as it may...the funniest thing i've heard to date is a guy who said "i wish ISO 1600 weren̢۪t so noisy" that̢۪s the point of sensitivity in film you can't have a smooth supper tight image and get high light sensitivity....its never worked that way its physics.....
anywho just remember that.
so there....i wanna see ppl walking the streets with 8x10s loaded with Agfa......that'd put an end to tourist photos...
take that smoothies
end of small rant
_bran(show some sensor, make some noise)do_

Grainy entry:  ... No Grain:
Grain should always be removed from an image unless it serves a specific and unambiquous purpose. I used it in the 'Despair' challenge and it was not well received, though most likely because I overdid it. :)

I felt any discussion of grain should include these three winners from the grain challenge:
  
Thanks.

This got hammered in the scoring too ... but read the comments. I take more stock in the comments than in the score. I would rather have low scores with great comments than high scores with a whack of very critical ones.
Thing is ... we learn from all the comments.
P.S.
Stunningly good capture. I would say that this type of shot would do well in the upcoming Street Photographer challenge ... but then they probably would lock this thread too! I would not want to DREAM of urging others to emulate this shot ... well at least not for a week.
BLEH!

You can add grain pp to enhance a photo, but you have to use it carefully.
I allways make a new layer, fill that layer with a midgrey tone, then I add noise (set at about 10) to that layer en set it on overlay. arrange transparancy how you like it.
before:
after:
this is not a great photo as an example, but you get the idea right?
