beautiful shot. The nice dark color of the grapes is offset nicely by the colorful fall leaves.

I remember last year when you put up some of these wonderful grape vineyard shots on STF. The composition, exposure, colors, backlighting, everything about it is delicious. Lora

Everyone thanks so much for your wonderful comments. After taking 1,000's of fall grape pics, I finally realized the only way to photograph the leaves as colorful as they are is to shoot into the sun. Quite a tricky process but it certainly worked in this image. Needless to say, it is my all time favorite!

Love this close up view of those grapes Denise, and the lighting is just exquisite. Another nice entry for the challenge!

Wow. Now this one takes me to the Languedoc Region of France where we traveled a year ago. The complementary colors just grab you. Well done. And YUM!
