I just find that blotchy kind of noise in the shadows/underexposed areas too distracting. Imo it goes a little too far towards looking like digital artifacting, rather than a film-grain-like kind of noise.
Lets remember this is a pretty dark image at 1000ISO. And the light is not balanced this is something like K1800 so not much of the blue chanel in there. Its an image made out of a courter of a red channel a little bit of green and hardly any blue. And this is with jpg compression and flickr jpeg compression... Blotchy is what that gives you.
If you look at the full res file at flicker its not as blotchy. https://www.flickr.com/photos/108703124@N02/25342795237/sizes/l
