Sandy - Nice medium to dark tones in the frame complemented by different shapes and lines. If you desaturated the background, then you did very well as it highlights the main subject (grapes) nicely !

Ram, no desaturation done - the grays are the (very) old wood vines.

Very nice, Sandy! The rich and deep colors are captured well. Think you picked just the right dof to keep the gray wood soft. Well done!

What a beauty, Sandy. The splendid texture of the trunk matches very well with the designs of the leaves. Bravo!
Cheers.
