Quality control

Bambrugh Castle, Northumberland - Grainy or great?

Just recently i've been having some doubts about the quality of my black and white images. These doubts aren't about the style or content but the grain and sharpness of the work. What it comes down to is 'am i getting the best image quality possible'?

It's a common dilemma with artists to question the way they work and i don't suppose it's a bad thing. For me its mainly a film grain thing. Are my images too grainy? Is FP4 supposed to have that amount of grain in a image? Do i push my films too far? Is it all part of my style of image making? Questions, questions !
