The image looks sharp but the grain goes?

No grain no gain is what my thing is all about. As the grain IS with a
capital "I" the image when the grain ain't all the way there; it looses
my attention (what was the middle part?).

As my Leica or Hasselblad or Linhof (which i don't have) on my carefully
chosen film

Why would i not let my viewers and buyers and ME see it on the final
produck (as so many people say) ((They got it from when they were kids
and now one had the guts to correct them and as that is the single most
impolite thing to do i don't blame them for not correcting them)

Three cheers for people who look at the grain. Sorry this sounds overly
meticulous (notice i don't say anal, I hate it when people say that:)
and side to side and corner to corner grain all the same.

...Don't be lame. Straighten out your grain.

Although the fed gives you money to leave it alone.
