there isnt grain in this shot..the color you used (sepia)doesnt work well with this shot for some reason it needs some tweaking in photoshop. the shot is nice because i like how the baby is staring at you its actually pretty nice that you captured that. I think you might have better results if you had a fstop between 16-22 and a shutter lower to give it a nicer texture and adding some more grain via photoshop would definately increase your odds of gaining a higher score considering the theme was grain :D

6 - Liked this but, criticism; wasn't enough grain for me for the Challenge. Like the 'composition', but just to contradict that, I think a different crop/framing (maybe more 'space' to the right?) may have made this better in my opinion. I imagine this with a 'wide angle' type frame (obviously the 640 dimensions restrict that here). Would also like to have seen more 'contrast', some richer toning. More detail too if possible (ie: sharpening) on the buffalo & calf, even though 'more grain' would have diminished the detail, if that makes sense.

Great Shot. Nice tones and grain. Looks like you should have squared the frame before cropping.

I love this but it seems so pale. Maybe that's the intent - hmmmm. Great composition and the linear quality of the trees is good. Plus it has a baby buffalo.. Ok... I digress.
