Grain or noise can be beneficial but in these two images it spoils the likeability of them. I prefer the "cleaner" versions.

I like both images, especially the B&W. However, the grain does not look natural (to me, and btw I do like grainy images) I'm not sure if you downsized / compressed after applying the grain. If I view the flickr images at 300% (firefox browser zoom), it looks like artifacts / pattern noise, not random like real film grain.

I think Francisco has a valid point about the grain size being a bit too large and (perhaps) too regular, but I very much like the b/w composition.

it's grain, people!

OK, last time... it's a photo of a grain elevator, with the grain elevated. Slobodan you should admit to pulling off a very clever photographic play on words as well as a well-composed and fun reminder of those grainy days.

Finally, a brainy comment about grainy images!

In an effort to please both sides, here is a clean one:

Wait, I didn't get the chance to pick a side ... Oh well
More on topic I do feel the grain is a little too much on the first version, it seems sunny enough that there was no need for a high speed grainy film if that's what you were looking for.
