All three of my top choices made ribbons this time. My eye must be getting better. Amazing how this entry looks so natural with grain. You know you have a winner when you don't even question what it will look like without grain. Congrats and Enjoy! Well Won.

Congratulations on your ribbon, this is what I imagined grain to look like when the challenge was announced. It looks like a stipple drawing, just beautiful!

Outstanding effort to vie in this challenge.

Whao! He looks like a rebel but I'm sure he is just a little angel. Great capture.

What a toughy! Love this image! The expression on this boy's face is perfect! All the elements that make this a true portrait are there from the blurred background to the tatooed musular arm with the rolled up sleeve! Only quibble, I'd like to see a little more detail in that near shirt sleeve. One of my top pics for the challenge!

Very nice portrait. Well captured and well cpmposed. A bit too much grain for me but great shot.

My favorite for the challenge, great expression on the kid, I like the DOF and the grain adds a lot to the image. Congratulations!!!

Grain here only enhances the mood I assume you were trying to convey, that of a young rebel, well done.
Post actions
GREAT expression! Wonderful lighting and the image grain looks fabulous here.
Post actions
Very nice work. Excellent composition. Great mood captured in the young man and accentuated in the grain, IMHO. I believe this should do well in this challenge.

bravo, what an image! 10.

This is a gorgeous shot. I think I would have liked it even more without the grain, tho.

Stunning use of grain to add impact to this shot without losing any detail. Composition is excellent, and the contrast couldn't be better. Fantastic work!

Looks like a stippled pencil drawing, excellent in all ways.

Stunning....absolutley stunning.

Should do very well, great atmospheric picture. 10

GREAT use of grain to enhance this image... gives it a sort of dirty, grungy feel that adds to the rebel you are saying he is in the title. I like this a lot... and I can see it maybe from the 60's or 70' in terms of film and image styles. -10-

Let me guess? Goodman? Wonderful and powerful image :)
