post challenge:
I didn't have time to enter a better shot of this. I finished shooting 20 min before the deadline. There was some grain I didn't like in this image and I couldn't deal with it in time so I decided to add a little in post proc., converted to b&w, curves and cropped. Later I went back to the other images and took more time to edit one. Here is the one I wish I would have entered.

You chose the right one to enter.

Great shot... we've all been there, and it always seems better in b&w.

Actually, I prefer the one you entered, though the color one is good as well. It has a spooky, "not knowing what's around the corner" feel to it.

An excellent example of high ISO noise being put to creative use. Was it noise, or was it induced in post processing?

I like the half face, and the photoshop grainy works really well with this shot.

I think the graininess works with this image, like the composition, back to bump a bit

Nice contrast between light and darkness. I like the lighting on the subjects face, as well as the beam of light.

I like the grain in this shot as it adds to the creepy feel of wandering through the darkness looking for the circuit breaker! Great lighting on the face!

Cool use of grain and smoke, together they make this image so much more than it would be without them.

intersting use a grain..not sure how this will be treated by the dpc challenge community...you might get hammered by the "noise".
