    I like the composition but there's a very slight tilt to the right. And I think I would crop the right side just enough to remove the lighter part of the vine.

    I like the composition and the subject matter. It's a nice setting.

    I think this is a classic example of a good composition waiting for the right light. It needs something warm and nostalgic, maybe.

    And perhaps it might help balance the shot to see the bottom of the first barrel, as well. That would put the cart more top left third, and reveal more of the cobblestones?

    Nice scene, Oliva!
    Sid.

    I think you called it right, "a nice shot" However, it does not hold the viewers interest longer than the first read. I agree that the light needs to be more exciting. I would classify this image as a still life. A still life image is one of the most challenging requiring incredible light composition and possibly color. Most of the time the subject alone can carry the interest in the photo but without that intrigue everything else must be extra specialdeal.gif
