I usually try to remove noise, but the added noise hear looks good. Just a stylistic difference, so I don't see a problem with what you've done.

As far as DoF, what do you want to know? Do you think you have too much or too little? What are you trying to do and not succeeding at?

i wonder if i shd make the thing that hold the brush sharper or not.. =)

overall I like it as it is, I'm also not generally a fan of grainy colour images, but what you have here works nicely IMO.

I don't think increasing the DoF would make the photo better. Right now, the eye goes immediately to the brush and the in-focus characters. There's enough detail in the rest of the scene to know what it is, but not so much that it pulls attention away from the subject.

This isn't to say that you couldn't make a nice photo of this subject with a deeper DoF, but if it were mine, I wouldn't.

FWIW
