Processed from RAW, shot at 10mm, fairly extreme crop + ISO 800 + underexposed = intentional noise
PP is extremely simple: 100% desat in hue/sat every channel but red, then desat red about -20 and shift red hue to the right +5, plus image is flipped horizontally

I think the grain adds some interest to it, without the grain it would just be a straightforward picture of someone's arm, half of their face, and a camera. Besides, everyone aleady knows what arms look like, and cameras and walls, so they don't need to be literal :p
You're not allowed to have deliberate noise. Which is oxymoronic in that it isn't noise if it belongs. But that's for pictures and not for digital - ah, never mind. I'll give it ten because nobody else will.
i gave this a 6... i liked it; more for the post editting than the actual shot itself though. the picture seemed not really all that much thought about, to be honest. it keeps a sense of heightened urgency and realism, i suppose. but like i said, it's the editting that sets it apart from the run of the mill; i think it's effectively done; though one suspects might have been moreso if went monochrome. also, i'd have taken off the camera strap; looks like big floppy bunny ears which probably isn't the look you were going for. might be wrong; you might like big bunny ears (i know i do, they're lovely) and you might have wanted to maximise cute bunny ear awareness amongst dpcers. it's worked. can't stop thinkng about them now. anyway, 6.
