Interesting viewpoint and I like really like car leading into the image.

If it were mine, I would have a look at maybe trying to reduce the grain/noise especially in the sky area.

I love the name of the farm and the photo suits it. B&W was a good choice here but I agree about the grain especially in the really white areas on the left. That is the only place that bothers me a bit. I do like the shot though.

Ominous. As if the car is heading into a maelstrom - cool shot.

Interesting comment about the grain. I added it in the picture thinking it looked good. Could you say what situations grain should be added and when not to overdo it ? What does grain represent for you?

I often add grain via presets in Lightroom, when I want an old film feel or to add some grit to the image, especially some industrial scenes.

IMHO if this were my image, I would've just backed off a little on both the grain size and roughness sliders, to tone it down, but leave the grain there, because it does add to the stormy effect.

I like it, the speeding car really adds some drama to this shot.
