How lovely. This is very nice, Sandy.Warm and colorful and I like the DOF you chose and how those few grapes peak out in the center below the branches. Nice tidbits that compliment your main subject so well captured.

Wonderful contrast between the rich reds/yellows and the blue grapes. Love the colors and detail.

Sandy, I shoot quite often in vineyards and I must say that this is a beautifully composed image of a georgous cluster of grapes. Lovely light and detail throughout. I'd be proud to have this in my portfolio of vineyard images.

I'm still learning about grape varieties but these look like chambourcin, do you know the variety? Great shot! :toast:

Thanks to all - I've gotten quite a few orders for this one for Holiday gifts. My brother-in-law knows the owner of the vineyard, and I'm hoping he'll want this image as a label (as Mike suggested), and I'm also negotiating on a long pano of the entire vineyard.
