an unusual composition but it works very well from many angles. good colour and lighting as well.

I like it. It has an atmosphere about it that is very calming.......John

Interesting image. I think it would have been a little dramatic if you would have zoomed
in more on the detail of the hook and wire a little more. But I guess it works well if this is the effect you were looking for. I would love to see more images dealing with the wine country you took this in.

Hi Bernd! I wanted to comment on your image, I wanted to tell you that I enjoy it. I love the gradient on the sky, the balance, and depth of field. Everything works your eye around the image very good. The only thing that Im not to sure of would be the darknes on the brushes & those wires. over all I like your composition.

I love this photo! Someone previous to me said it was calming, I think it creates the opposite feeling, the energy and tension placed on that stake seem to immediately transfer into my shoulders the instant I view the photo.

I love it. The angle makes one tend to look into the distance and the blue sky and so has, like jmar said, a calming effect.

Makes for a very contemplative picture i think. Again, I love it! :)

ps. and of course, the unusual and uncrowded foreground is perfect as well!
