Hmm....now that I know which is yours I will again state I see no image grain at all. And funny how every comment that states they don't see grain, you do not check as helpful. Did you slam and insult everyone in the forums as you did me for not seeing grain in your image? 7 comments and only one says anything about grain in your shot and even then they say gritty not grainy. One of your 10's the commentor even says it doesn't fit the challenge - no grain.
Don;t know if it's compression effect or what but this has far too many artifacts on my monitor. They create a lot of distraction. But it's a nice capture of a great subject
Where is the image grain? I just don't see it. It is a nice image and I think the processing makes it pop quite a bit. But I just don't see the image grain in the pic.
