I took this shot while riding down an escalator, holding two boxes of Dunken Doughnuts in one hand. My camera was set to 1600 ASA so there was plenty of grain. I thought this reminded me of an old grainy fast film picture, so here you have it.

Not quite a classical "portrait" in a way. Has more of a stolen/candid moment look and feel about it and the grain added is just a bit over the top in my opinion.
If it wasn't for the cell phone and the full frame focus, I could almost believe this Scott Cunningham's work. Very nicely done. I love the way you used grain to enhance the image.
I personally don't appreciate the grain for this application, and the character of the event might have been better captured by emphasizing on the face more.
