I was testing an old lens with my D500, for street. And yes, I added grain. The conversion was done with Topaz BW effects. Oops: Left off the link https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97242118/_DSC1920.jpg -- PeterN |

The conversion was done with Topaz BW effects. Oops: Left off the link https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97242118/_DSC1920.jpg I like the subject matter and the composition. However, the added grain obscures the people. There's no definition in that area, and that makes the building structure the subject of your photo. This could be a very good shot if you'd just treat it as a black and white photo. I agree with Mr Cooper that the "...grain obscures the people.", and "makes the building structure the subject". But I don't see that as a problem. The building has a bit of Art Deco look to it. The photo has a 1970's overall look- I'm looking for a Ford Pinto on the street and someone wearing bell-bottom pants! I would also like to see it without the grain effect, but I think I might like the grainy one better. -- Ken Hart |

As you noticed from the original the building is the subject. I was not very close to the people with the effective 16. -- PeterN |

The most interesting part of the picture is the reflections in the glass panes of the overhang. And they're not helped by the gratuitous graniness. Bob |

Tri X is the name of the grain I added. -- PeterN |
