This is an impressive shot and the grain suits the subject matter. I would consider cropping out the tree on the RHS to lend more impact to the rock.

I don't know if there is enough lichen in this photo!
You have done a good job in isolating the subject. Here in the Northeast of the US we have the same problem with photography in the woods... way too much info & detail. Selective vignetting seems to work well here.

Like it, lots of detail throughout, the strong grain effect adds impact.

I updated the picture. What seemed to be grainy was only an effect of over sharpening after scaling down the picture. I use a CRT-Monitor so it doesn't show up. Seeing the same picture on a TFT is horrible. A grainy look wasn't intended and does not correspond with the original print (but as you seem to like it, I will think about it ) I hope it's ok now.
