Vintage '06 (D/U warning)

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

My first grape shots from the Hunter Wine Weekend. These ones depict different aspects of the vintage. For a larger version, click a pic.

Peter, these are amazing shots, imo. I really love the first 3, especially 2 and 3. I reckon you'd be able to sell them to the winery!

Lovely images Peter. Colour is vibrant, images sharp and well composed. #1 perhaps a little over filled, pardon the pun. #2 is a standout for its simplicity and subtlety. Love the graded pastel tones terrific composition and OOF background really sets it apart as a quality image that would be at home in a fine wines magazine. :)
cheers

I agree - Great colours Peter. #1 is a little over done with the fill flash - lighting amongst vines can be a real horror. #2 for me.

Some more great shots Peter.

#1 Least favourite of the bunch, I tend to agree the fill flash may have been a little over done

#2 Really like the bokeh and sharpness in this one, a great 'on the vine' shot

#3 Gorgeous and my favourite of the bunch... This one just works really well and keeps your interest, nicely done

#4 Nice action shot, I may have cropped it closer to remove a little of the distraction.. and get less of the stripey shirt in the shot

#5 Nice shot, it's good to see someone tasting the stuff (hasn't been much photographic evidence to prove that so far) not that I'm doubting a lot of wine was consumed :)

#6 Love this one too, almost feel like jumping in for a swim.. (is it good for the skin?) :shock: :?

Great work Peter!
