I like it,villenadecorte.
I like how the grapes are framed inside the leaves, and although we all know about not centering our subjects in the frame. . this is one of the many exceptions It works for me. My only fault( if it can be called that, it is only my opinion ) I think for me is i want to see more or deeper colors in there. Maybe an increase in saturation, and check levels and maybe up contrast slightly. Great vintage!

here are a few more.... thanks for the feedback gahspidy...
I see a lot of color wash out in the leaves, for sure- I had sun coming in at the right side...
however, the grapes are almost as true to the real thing as can be- funny how grapes in a vineyard look nothing like grapes in the produce department at the store.
Anyhow, here are a couple more- more worked on in PS than my first post.
In the first post, I only did a slight levels and contrast adjustment.

Thanks again for looking and commenting.

I like the original one and did a slight saturation increase on it , to about 15, and think it looks good. Of the last ones you posted, I like the bottom shot of the close-up. The colors are great and the textures and shadows interesting . . .

I really like the first one you posted!!! You are right, they *DO* look like that on the vine. Almost washed out. I think it's a great shot as it is.

Thanks Chaos!
They really do look washed out- I wanted to grab them off the vine and give them a good scrub! haha. I have a few more... one in particular that came out *interesting* to say the least. I'll post later.

These two are great. I especially like the second one with the grapes in all different stages of development giving us some great colors.

I loved the effect of the first one the best. The whole effect is somewhat "frosted", which gives it a very romantic feel, almost vintage as in a Victorian postcard or something. I could see this shot fitting in among antiques, or in a little tourist wine store, or printed on a silver tray and displayed on the wall. It just has a very unique, appealing mood to it.
