Not sure where the texture finishes and the grain starts, but in this shot, that's not a bad thing. I really like the composition and lighting. Nice work.

Is it a tush, or a sand dune? ;) I don't think I like this effect on something that is supposed to be smooth. Relevant, though.

An artistic photograph.

Excellent. Beautiful lighting and the grain works well. I usually don't take interest in these studies but this one kept my attention. The angle and textures are perfect.

Really interesting! The light is pretty nicely captured! It looks like there's beach sand there. skin grain?
well done.

Certainly a beautiful shot - a highly relevant - however for me - there's just a little too much noise

nice lighting!

What can I say... I'm impressed. I'm a noise addict myself, so my opinion is suspicious.

But I was here searching for a photo where "relevance" felt "excellent". Is the case.
Minimalist in composition, but elaborate in feeling and intensity.

Great use of grain.
