While I like the grain and the subject seems very candid, there is a lack of detail lost to the shadows that detracts from the whole. Darker areas are blobs of black and not clothing or shadows. This can be adjusted in a way by using the duplicate layers in PS and switching to screen until you get to the exposure you wish to have, then just black out the overexposed areas on the layers to return the correctly exposed areas to normal. A 7.
Was the grain in camera or added in processing? Are ya getting a lot of bad comments about it? I think it works well her, but the DPC community tends to not like it a lot. You definatly portray a feeling of waiting well here.

I actually like all the noise in this picture....I don't think it would be as creative of a shot without it. Very nice! Looks almost like an old poster.
