Hi Chappy,
Nice photo, you seem to have it all in this shot, interesting foreground, nice colour, receding background. The only thing I would change is to frame a bit to the left so that the pole in the middle of the photo would shift a bit to the right. Other then that, a great shot.

I really like the pic - beautiful autumn colours and nice composition, but I'm guessing you're not much of a wine drinker. They only farm the grapes - they make the wine :wink:

The wankers amongst us (moi) call these places wineries :lol:

I've just come back to look at this shot, and the more I look at it the more I like it. I'm surprised you haven't had any comments on it from anyone other than Phillip & myself.

One other point - for shots like this I usually take both perspectives - looking down the grass and looking down the row of vines. It would be interesting to see how this looked with the other choice - did you take one of these?

Love this shot :) Great composition and love how the mountains in the background just recede into the sky.

Isn't it a vineyard ;) Winery is still fine, but since you want to play that game :P
