OK, this could have been improved with noise ninja or whatever in more sophisticated pp venues than I am used to using...
Driving range shot from a moving car on the highway through a not too clean windshield. But please note that I was a passenger, not the driver. (No pun).

I liked your image. The noise/grain did not detract for me. There was something compelling, the feel of the image, wondering about what it was about. I was thinking sails at first but the title cleared that up nicely.
I agree with bvy about the would be grain - as the week passed it bugged me more and more. I have no pp skills to speak of; all I do is mess with the light and dark and colour sliders and crude sharpening in Irfanview - a subtle combination of ineptness and lack of will.
The grain is too staticky, too noisy, too digital. I struggle with this. There may well come a day that digital noise matches film grain in terms of its artistic value. I like the composition here so much, though, that I have to throw lots of points your way.
Just seems busy and not really doing much to get my attention, I'm afraid. I do appreciate seeing the attemtpts at trying something different, however. You don't know if you don't toss it in there.
Though not particularly appealing to me personally, (due to the heavy grain content,) that same grain content does give this photo a high artistic value as pointillism. This fact sets-up conflicting emotions in me.
Ultimately, I give you a "7" for hitting the challenge dead-center artistically. :)
Would I hang this on my wall. Perhaps, I like the composition. I judge on what I would hang in my apartment. I would like to see this smaller and in a "larger" frame. Just like good art should be. I almost would like to see more at the bottom, but maybe this is good so. You will have to live with my 7. Maybe later I pump up to a 8. Not sure at the moment
