March 2025 - Very Early Spring Vineyard
About the Image(s)
In early spring one can see the “bones” of the vineyard that will blossom later in the year. I find the repeating patterns, warped by the topography, to be mesmerizing.

I like this high key, B&W image that you have created from the image recorded by your camera. I wish you had sent a copy of the original for comparison.
I enjoy the repetition of so many varied lines. I see curved lines, diagonal lines, horizontal and vertical lines. All of this creates for me an interesting image.

Thanks Chan! My camera club had a new special category this month called patterns and it made me look around me and see patterns everywhere.

I like your composition! The sky doesn't add much - so you made if a small part of the frame. I like that you capture vines going in different directions - they lead the viewers gaze through the frame. The B&W accentuates the stark/barren landscape. If I was going to edit this - I might try removing the 2-3 tall/thick/black posts in the foreground. Posted: 03/08/2025 13:22:32
Thanks Steven! Great suggestion about the posts. Posted: 03/08/2025 20:03:35
Your image is mesmerizing. I keep going back and looking. It reminds me of a patchwork quilt. I agree with Steven about the sky. If you cropped it down to the top of the bushes? The part of the tree on the left looks like a skeleton hand, which goes perfectly with the skeleton of the vineyard! Posted: 03/08/2025 23:07:07
