I was walking all day looking for something where image noise would apply, then the weather turned bad and i got this classical shot.. looks like a couple walking through Paris :)

Sweet! Maybe I was influenced by you and didn't know it! This is a lovely shot as well - grain is well used and it has the timelessness of B&W and old Europe.
You seem to have a small area of brightness above the bridge that needs touched up. Also you might want to crop in just a tiny bit on the right side to get rid of a tree trunk I believe. Just doesn't seem to need to be at the edge of the photo.
Nice sepia, nice contrast, nice grain, nice couple, nice umbrella, nice bridge. This is a happy grainy picture. Everything just works so well together. I'd bet you're doing quite well with this right now.
What a perfect photo for this challenge. The grain adds so much to the feel of the image as do the duotones. This one should score HIGH! I can't think of a single thing to change. well done!
Very charming and romantic photo, with the park and bicycles, one can easily take it for a country in Europe. And if this is Europe, well then - even better.
