Great that you decided to get in so close - turned it into a nicely colorful abstract.

Poured into a beer cup, no less! Good choice of colors for the sign-maker - no need to add the word "grape".

Yeah, they sure do look a bit bummed, don't they? I like how far back this shot goes, the inclusion of the people on the pier beyond.

There's something about a park bench (invitation to sit) behind a locked gate that makes me feel deprived of something. :) I like that you included the dedication stone in the composition, the shape of which is echoed by the window.

Most likely the "horizon" tilt was the Achilles heel, although it doesn't bother me. And funny you say it's a curb, but before reading that, I thought the background was a park area, with people sitting on the grass - those two dark shadows looked like people to me. Title is perfect - Kundera would like the shot and not fault you the "horizon". :)

I like how the angle of those red leaves are echoed in the angle of the bokeh-ed branch.

Had a thought this was you when I saw it - I think you said before it was unusual for you to shoot something like this - you do it very well.
