im the opposite to Haneck, i love grain, and often add a little myself. this photo is very moody and well composed, and would love it even if the person were not there, but the person comes as a plus. its a great emptiness in this picture which im attracted to.
Usually, I can't STAND grain... but here it works beautifully! I LOVE this! I love all the moodiness - and I think that's at least partly thanks to the way the foreground gets almost black. It's a very capturing image - darkly contemplative. I almost feel like I know that mood that person way off in the distance is in.
Now that has a lot of grain, myriads in fact. A nice day at the beach, just as in an English south coast town of my youth when the sun never shone much. Then the climate changed...
