Yes, this was shot in low light....but when I converted it to b&w and tweaked the sharpness it just came out with this grainy effect that I really liked... I had a feeling I would get a lot of negative comments on it so I was really surprised by how many folks actually liked the effect as much as I did. Thanks for all who voted and I appreciate the comments. :) BTW, these were my daughter's feet...shot on our living room sofa with a chenille blanket underneath her. And yes....I've been onto her about biting her nails forever now. :)

| LOL -- "It's too grainy!" Yup, it is and I LIKE IT! Really interesting effect -- looks like the photo was really blown out and then brought back somehow. What did you use under the feet? |

| It makes the skin look kind of blank. |

| Grainy effect is pretty neat. I'd be interested to see the shot without it, though. |

| I like this, but i feel that if it was sharp it would have beena lot better. |

| Very nice. My only nitpic would be to get the little finger out of the shadow between the feet or eliminate the shadow. This shot should do very well in this challenge in spite of there being so many excellent photos. |

| I think the grainy look makes this better. |

| Interesting photo with a strong composition. I find the reflection on the cloth on the left a little distracting. |

| the more i look at this photo, the more i like it. the position, and graininess is very effective here with the b&w but there are some places that look a tad blown out like the little finger of the upper hand. you've just moved up to my top10, err, top 11 i guess. :) -- gr8photos (9) |

I think this is wonderful work. This is art. Definately Frame-Worthy. Whatever you did - it's great. I think it's a 10

| its a bit grainy... nice idea, but it would look better if there was less noise on the skin tones. |

| I see a lot of graineness in this image and since the image is in greyscale I am going to assume you are trying to simulate a the look of highspeed film pushed to the max. That said, I've been looking at this picture and going fron 'I like it.' to ' It just doesn't feel right.' I'm going to give a high score and I don't know why. |

| I really like this composition. I can't say that the grain adds much for me though. = 7 - jmsetzler |

| The photo looks great as a thumbnail but when blown up, it looks grainy. |

| interesting subject. it looks good in black and white, but it also looks kinda grainy. |

| I like it.....was it intentionally diffused |

The grain really makes this such a dramatic and powerful image. Great job.

| nice pic, tighter cropping of the top might help a little more? |

| I like this. B&W and graininess is great. My one complaint (and this is probably because my husband drives me nuts with this) is that the subject appears to be a nail biter/picker. Pet peeve...sorry : P 7 Lisa |

| Oh how I've wanted to do this sort of thing! If I could just get 'em to let me! Like the choice of grain... gives it a timeless feel. |

| the texture is intriguing. at first it put me off, but the longer I looked at it, the more I liked it. The gritty yet smooth summarizes the subject matter nicely. I'm amazed that these feet look so much like my son's! |

| Nice composition.. I think it's a bit too grainy though |

| Interesting shot. The graininess makes the body parts appear more like a statue, very interesting. Nice artistic flare. 7 Swash |

| I like this Photo. I wish the shot was more clear. Im not sure if you added an effect or if it just turned out i bit grainy, Clear is good. |

| Was this shot in very low light? It looks more like a dithered monochrome newspaper print rather than just a grey scale photo. Curious effect. |

| Maybe you purposely made this grainy, but I'd loved to have seen it with the skin texture instead. Great idea though, I love hand shots! |

| Very nice. I bet you are gonna get a bunch of comments that say "this picture is too grainy". I personally like the feel of this image with the grain. |

| I like the grainy texture to this. Although feet are not my favorites -- I like this photo. It's simple. 6 |
