Pushing the developing time will give you that grainy effect when it comes to Tri-X if I remember correctly, or maybe it's pushing the ASA(?) ... been a very long time since I've used Tri-X! Love your title, Lucia! Terrific job and effects and love the position of the two trees and bale that adds depth to the image!
Much Aloha,

Thank you very much Jonna and Stan for your great comments, I'm glad you like this! This was more of a "pull" processing, exposing the roll at a one stop difference (ISO 400 at 200) and then developing the film for less time than recommended - rule of thumb is to decrease the development time one minute for each stop of overexposure. I give credit to my friend for the developing, he's a very accomplished photographer and I was very thankful to learn from him.
