Good shot. The grain adds to the pic, but not enough for a 8-10 score. I'll assume the saturation is an effect of the grain as well. The composition centered works in this one. 7
This is my favorite so far! You did an EXCELLENT job on composition -- colors -- and making just the right amount of grain on the right parts. I would love to see this one in the winner's circle. Good luck!!! 10
