it's got a real vintage feel to it. I like the grain factor to it as well. All in all a plesent image to look at, which may not sound like much of a compliment, but... I ment it to be. -Gabe-

Yeah I think this is very good the grain works well as does the monochromatic colour, the figures are well placed the guy pointing looks dressed in Morning suit! The only thing I would nit pick about is the odd spot in the sky and the horizon looks a little higher on the right. Wish I took it!

Like the treatment here the grain and colouring. My only comment would be on composition, the guy in the middle is a bit in the middle for me but I think the fact he is almost breaking the horizon troubles me. If you cover one guy up then the other you will see my point. :O)
