First, let me mention the new theme for this blog. I was re-reading "The Print" by Ansel Adams and he was of the opinion that photographs were best viewed against a dark gray wall. This blog theme is starts with gray and adds colors from the Gitzo Basalt line of tripods.
For the Dominique nudes, I developed a Silver Efex Pro preset that I labeled "Grainy Nude", applied here to the avocado.

I like this effect more. Interesting contrast between sharpness and grain.
When I was shooting film, I never dreamed I'd miss grain. Now I find that it adds quite a bit to some subjects in terms of making pictures more lively.
