I had 2 versions of this: color and b/w. With the kind words from Ray, I decided to use the b/w version for the "eligible" gallery. However, since the size limitation is only 800 pixels, the grittiness did not come through as obviously as I'd like it to, so I increased the non-gaussian noise a touch in order to compensate for the substantially smaller display size due to the gallery's rules.

I welcome comments so I can learn and improve from them. Thx in advance.
