Why fight the grain? Nowadays, everyone wants to reduce noise (grain). I do agree that sharp and crisp pictures are awesome. But sometimes, for effect, nothing beats grain.
I added grain to this image (if you look below you can see the image on the left is without grain and the one on the right is with grain…zoom in to compare the two yourself). It helps bring an ancient mood to the image.
And speaking of the image, I think I have seen the trailer to Upside Down so much that I decided to not crop this image at all. For whatever reason, the tree coming in from the top doubly mirrors the tree in the water, double tricking my brain into being confused about what side is up.
