I took this shot not too long ago and I'm still trying to decide if it is actually any good, or I just like it because of the grain and technical imperfections.

Thanks!

Would look better with some post processing in my view. Reminds me of a old newspaper photo, but the story is missing.

Was this a film scan?

Yes, I "scanned" bw film with a macro lens, still working on perfecting that setup.

A decent film scanner would help some to improve IQ; however the shot is not especially interesting. Grain and film imperfections can be welcome additives to a strong shot, but grain and film imperfections do not make a strong shot.
