Very nice. Some of the highlights seem pretty bright, though -- it looks like this was a mid-day sun. I like the composition with the row of vines sweeping in an arc.

I like the image. I think it could be a bit less *hot* and maybe a bit more DOF would work better.

I really like the composition, but it's very difficult light. Shooting under less harsh light would take the edge off of this one and really make it stand out.

I understand it being "hot" and agree. Most of that was PP, but it was shot mid-day. As far as the DOF, are you saying you think the background should be more out of focus or in focus?

Less hot:
row1

A bit more in focus..this would help the "leading lines" draw you into the picture further.
