For me, the noise would have been more effective if it was monochromatic; the red and green spots seem to detract too much from the shot, in my opinion. I think a strong B&W, like you did here, would have looked better.

I personally would have cropped out the building on the left. The tone and grain make the image feel much older. I like the ball sitting in the middle of the field. It makes for a very casual shot.

Grain and toning work so well here to create that old look. Beautiful job!

Yeah good comment, It's been made a couple of times. Interestingly I had to redo the photo as I added lens glare the first time and it would not be allowed under advanced editing rules.

The first time I added noise before resize and it was quite light so on the second edit I added after resizing and now it is to harsh, I'll just have to adjust it better next time.

Lovely old feel to this shot. Possibly a touch too much grain added, but I love it!!

Yep, without looking at who did it, I could tell this was Australia.
It does look like a keepsake photo with the sepia tone - if it was mine, I'd probably use the Noise Ninja on it anyhow, because most of the old time images I've seen are pretty sharp. Nevetheless, it's a nice image that tells your story well.

My immediate reaction was an old time photograph. The grain and your toning really help to add to the feel. Would love to see just a touch wider tonal range in the photograph itself. Nicely done.
