I like this image and would love to see it without the intentional noise.

I like the noise / grain in this shot, makes it more interesting.

Great composition - I like that you have included both of thse people. My only gripe is with the excessive grain on this - I'm not sure if it's suited.

Derivative - The Bergman family portrait, perchance?

Very nice. The eyes really have it.

did you mean for this photo to be so grainy?

I love the graininess in this. It makes the image that much more dramatic. His eyes are amazing and really draw me in.

I love everything about this, except for the grain, but that is just my taste. Otherwise, this is really good for the theme.

I like this image... but only when I stand way back from my screen. I simple can't bring myself to give a high image quality rating though.

Some graininess is fine, but for mee this is far too much. Feels like an ABBA video with the composition too (which isn't a bad thing in my eyes!)

why is there so much grain?

I think I know where you were going with the grain/noise - it is overdone in my opinion - I might have preferred the framing to be a tad more open - I feel like I'm right on top of the people and need to back off a bit.

beautiful. love the grain and intimacy.
