I have been interested in textured effects for years used on photo's. I like this one but would like to hear from those who have an interest in such effects. Any and all comments most welcome, thanks Steven

Like all things, it's good to see something different. Can't say that this treatment really works for me - maybe more of a 'painting' effect would work better?. Nicely comp'd image tho'!

I have tried to play around with this sort of effect on occasions. Some work better than others. My first impression when I looked at this was that it was a very noisy picture not that it had had a effect applied to it. It does not work for me I am afraid. The original image looks like it would be a good one as well.

The film grain is on purpose, I still like this and think I will push it on, the grain was added last, I am looking for a texture that will be covered with a clear acrlyic coating after mounting on a hard back. Very close, would like a noise that is more shadow. and not wanting to do brushing in selected area's, but it looks like I will. More comments welcome, I know there are fans of grain and noise texture out there?

I hope you come up with something that you like. I look forward to seeing the final result.

Think this might be one of those processes which looks much better 'live' rather than virtual on a screen

I'm not to sure about the effect. I don't like the grainy bit I think.

I'm afraid I am also on the 'not for me' side of this effect. Good on you for trying a texture but this one really doesn't like like a subtle grain effect, it just looks like an overly compressed noisy picture that has lost too much detail. I think the original was a decent picture but the addition of heavy noise / grain has made a fairly busy picture look even busier and that isn't helping. Compositionally it's a nice shot though so it might be worth trying a different texture for this?

Cheers,
Rob
