Noisy Girl
Would like some feedback on this image. Whether or not it works for you, if the noise is too much, complete waste of bandwith, etc, etc.
Thanks "Sometimes when you are sad Poko, it's good to hug the monkey."
The framing (composition) is great how it draws us to the exposed eye - but then there is the brickwall...The look of the little girl is priceless, but the noise does detract from the photo. Its not a waste by all means...

Works for me but i would have exposed it differently. I would have preferred to see a darker image to befit the moodiness of the subject. Also i would have smeared mud and old leaves on the kids face to enhance the 'lost kid in the wilderness' look
 I guess there are so many ways you could have gone.Steve.

Matt has a pathological aversion to any portrait in front of a brick wall.
And in this instance, I don't like it much either. However, I like the composition and the noise is fine, noise in BW tends to look a bit like grain and I quite like that. The lowish contrast and eye being underexposed are not so good in my view. But I think there is a great shot in the making. Greg - - - - D200 etc

mmm... close to a great photo... think if you pp the brick wall to remove the little person in front, then we'd get a much better look at the main subject...
seriously though... I like the composition and the noise is fine... I'd play around with the levels a little and explore what you can get out of this. oh and probably look to remove/blur or otherwise reduce the impact of the wall. 
I really like this portrait and the noise or grain seems appropriate for the mood of the photo.
On second glance the brick wall, especially the gap between the bricks, could be a little distracting. Perhaps having the subject standing further in front of the wall to increase DOF blur is an option, but there's alaways a hundred ways to improve a photo. I like it how it is.

Thanks for the comments. For some reasons notification about replies never reached me, so i didn't realise the were infact comments.
Points re the brickwall are taken on board and agreed with. Unfortunately it is all there is to my backyard...very small space enclosed with bricks. Mj, I thought of you as I posted the image...wondered if it would meet your approval! Will play with the image some more....thanks for the hints.
