I love how the light splashing onto the wall gives the image such neat tones... The textres are fabulous and the high-contrast works well here.

This is great Charmayne. Somehow I missed getting to this one in the voting. It has such a cool, urban feel to it. The grain adds so much too. I also think it should have scored higher. Closer to where your commenters placed it.

Yep. There's gotta be grain for this to look so good. I like the composition and especially the great slashes of sunlight. 7

my personal preference is that this would just look better if it had a small border around it.
But still a great picture-7

This is nice. I don't see grain working in many colour images, but this is an example of one where it really does.

For some reason this reminds me a great deal of Arnold Newman's famous 'Red Brick Wall' I like it a lot.. Very nicely done and good use of image grain... what a cool building and awesome graffitti! (nice that the graffitii isn't brightly colored... or maybe you did some desat? I love the streak of light running across it... I think this is a cool image. -10-
