I'm new in selling photo so I really need your help.
I really like this photo and it looks great in print (in any version)

BUT look at the scan (100%)

From the one side - it is noise/grain in the extreme. From the other side - it adds to general effect. And it was very heavy snowfall, so I'm not really sure it is noise/grain
So - what do you think? Is it worth to try to upload? And what do you think about picture itself?

I like the pictures. I think if you look at the sky, though, the things you see aren't snowflakes. I don't know if the noise reduction programs out there reduce film grain as well -- I think there's even a program for reducing grain -- but it's worth looking into. Usually you can get a trial or demo version for free if you look around.

Maybe you should try scanning with a higher DPI. I don't know, that just might help. But other than that, it looks pretty good. I like it.
