One of my favourites from this challenge. Refreshingly different - but with water and nice hues.

The title sounds like a book a was supposed to read in high school ... ahhh. But seriously, lovely image, very natural looking colors.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Delightful image that pleased many of our voters in this Challenge. I suspect you used a polarizer to obtain those deep blues and dark reds. All though there is some vignetting in the sky it is not particularly out of character within the image.

And yes, when I voted on this image during the Challenge, I too noticed the lack of Grapes, or even vines. However, because of the strength of the photograph i also voted it fairly high. I think you made the best of what you had and came up with a pretty good Challenge entry.

Keep up the good work.

7 - Nice use of the exposure effect - just wish it were bigger, 'somewhere', but realize this size likely doesn't do it justice. Doesn't quite look balanced in my opinion. Maybe more height frame-wise, not sure. The color, blue especially, is very nice.
