Our Daily Challenge: "Grain" and "Anything Goes"

 

I was trying for a film noir feel with this image, but I think I actually ended up with something that looks more like a comic book movie villian...LOL! I don't have a fedora, so I used a straw hat that belongs to my wife, and darkened it in post. (The hat has a big flower attached to the band, but I turned that to the back side :-) It’s an old steak knife that this "villian" is holding.

 

Except for adding the sparkle on the knife blade, I didn’t do much extra processing on the image beyond basic stuff and converting to mono. I cranked up the ISO and took the shot in a darkened room to get the heavy grain.
