From Wikipedia:
Tri-X is a classic high-speed black and white photographic film from Kodak. It has a rated speed of ASA 200/24° DIN, and it was the first high-speed black and white film. Currently it is available in two speeds, ISO 320/26° (320TXP) and 400/27° (400TX). Tri-X 400 is the more common of the two, coming in 24 and 36 exposure rolls of 35 mm and 120 as well as 50 and 100ft bulk rolls of 35mm. Tri-X 320 is available in 120 and 220, as well as 4×5", 5×7", and 8×10" sheets.
Tri-X 400 is rated at ISO 400 when processed in standard developers and remains among the fastest black and white films today. Push processing Tri-X to EI 800 in a standard developer brings very good results, while further pushing to EI 1600 requires more sophisticated processing. Introduced November 1, 1954[1], Tri-x was once one of the most popular films used by photojournalists, but it declined in the 70's and 80's due to the falling price and increasing popularity of colour film. Since the advent of digital photography it has all but fallen out of use in newspaper journalism. Apart from possible use in educational establishments, it still remains reasonably popular in documentary journalism.

I didn't vote (or honestly even scan) this challenge, but this is clever. Funny how many people didn't get it! Have you tried the Alien Skin Exposure plug-in? This is great for mimicking the various film types. I am trying them all out in the B&W side challenge.
Even when the guy is married (we can see the ring) and she is probably her wife you know some voters hate nudity, in order to "compensate" will vote 9 (instead of 6) even when there is too much noise for my taste.
Yeah baby...good ole tri-x with grain you could build sandcastles out of. Unfortunately I don't think digital grain comes across as well, but I get your intention. Very Lennon/Ono shot imho - I think I'd like this ungrained and lovely on my wall.
i got your point about the tri-x film with the b&w grainy photo, but the subject you chose to relay this, is very boring - lacking interest. dont get me wrong, i love beautiful nude photos, but this one is really not good.
i havent rated this photo yet.
