That's a good catch, composition good even though centered, the wood grain works too. Did you enhance the color? Increasing the shadow could be interesting?

Interesting shot! Nice, simple composition.

Maybe it would look better if the vine were a little off to one side? But then, I think that this photo works as it is.:thumbsup:

I like it Rick. I agree it is little centered but well done.

Very nice as it is. I would prefer though to see more of the plant at the bottom, perhaps with a little soil. Very nice colours. Possibly a little oversharpened or is it very light grain?

Hi Rick,
Very well spotted. I especially like the gradual change of size of the leaves. Well done!

Many thanks!
Yes,I did enhance the saturation, applied unsharp mask,... I really appreciate all the encouraging feedback.
With regards,
