I like this contrast between the white/blue marine colors and the grain, I wouldn't think they would look gerat together but they actually do here. so many details together with the noise make me want to touch the screen and the things there:) quite a strange feeling, a 3d feeling. the perspective and angle even make this 3d feeling stronger.

I like this. I'm kinda cursing those anachronistic resin chairs though. I love what you did with the crop/perspective especially with how the 'roof' appears - and the placement of the elvis poster is perfect. The colors are pretty good as is, but if I were experimenting, I might try fooling around with hues, saturation and contrasts to make them even more 'vintage' looking. Anyway, this was a great choice of subject for the challenge and deserved a better score.

Julianne, I think the grain works very well here. I think the fact that it is very busy makes this shot nice.
