Nice vineyard scene here. I think your composition is excellent and it appears that you kept the sky from blowing out. Thanks for sharing this one.

It was getting late, barely half an hour before sunset, so exposing was not too hard ... thanks for your critique !

Except for the tilting house in upper left the distortion doesn't bother me that much. I am concerned with the composition and the exposure. The posts and dirt aren't that interesting. I like the trees and homes on the hillside in background so maybe using the vineyard as leading lines might work. The exposure seems flat and there's too much dark in the vineyard part. A beautiful place Jean-Pierre and I'm sure you have some fantastic images of it. I would love to visit someday.

The posts and dirt aren't interesting, but they never are, yet they are an integral part of any vineyard, and I count myself lucky there were no plastic implements there ... as for using the rows as leading lines, I did try, as I always do, but in this particular place it just doesn't work. I don't agree about the exposure being flat, maybe something about screens ? Thanks for your critique !
