Hi guys. This was taken shooting through a windowshop, with a film camera, TMAX Black and white. Very grainy (think it was a 4 or even 800 not sure). What do you think?
Giova, I like this one alot. The grain works for the mood and timeless feel of the image. It is alot of grain and I would guess it was at least 800 if not higher iso, but I think it works great. I love the aesthetic. The moment you captured here is gold. The child peeking around the window is classic. I like the hint of the cabinet inside with bottles.
I would only suggest cropping this into an 8x10 format by removing some of the wall on the right.
Well done.

Truly a classic style image. The grain from the film only adds to the overall appeal for me.
I'd consider a slight straightening (clockwise rotation), a bit of contrast adjustment to pull the blacks and whites a bit further apart to make the image have more 'snap', and I'll second Gary's suggestions regarding the crop location.
Congratulations of the 'sticky' and featured photograph.
It's a great photo! Well done. It's a stack of grain, but I love it.
