During image capture, I intentionally cranked up the ISO, hoping to get a nice grain effect. I was able to emphasize it during post-processing with excessive sharpening and then applying a blur.
I don't think this will do well in voting. It's not really a terribly interesting subject, but I had given thought about choosing a subject that was symmetrical, but broke its symmetry in some way. I also experimented with the post-processing a bit more than I usually do, in order to add some texture to the image, which I find pleasing when looking at the images by others here on DPC. It's also an interesting way to hide imperfections in the subject.

Is this a light? Oh, I see, one is burned out but you're saying there's still enough light? I don't understand why it's so grainy. The composition is not very interesting for me either.
i dont really understand what is meant by balance, so i have just been looking at this as a free study, that being said, this works well as an abstract, the noise is a bit excessive for my taste
