I just love this picture! The detail that you put into the grapes and the leaves themselves is just dazzling and outstanding to look at, not to mention very appealing. I nearly want to pluck some of those grapes and eat them, even though I don't quite favor the way they taste haha. Excellent work here!

Thank you so much, TZ. The taste would be even worse if this was an oil painting, LOL. Thank you also for the excellent rating :)
Comment from vmatheson
This is lovely! Details, lighting, groupings, shadows, colors, all very beautifully done! I think the only thing that could make this a stronger image would be to create an atmosphere for it: a table, a basket, a wall, a pattern of some sort, just to give it depth and ground it rather than having the subject floating in space. Another option would be to crop closer in and to fill the frame. Either way, you did a great job, keep it up! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so very very much, VM. I left myself some space around it to maybe add to it. I was a little pressed for time because of the deadline. I thank you for not docking me on those points :)) You're right, if I was to leave it as it is, I would crop a tad closer, but leaving room for matting. Again, thank you for the beautiful review.

Lovely and inspiring vivid green grapes with excellent contrast of black in this presentation. Reminds the viewer of a Bavarian china vase.

Thank you ever so much for the wonderful review, Kenneth. I looked up some Bavarian vases, and WOW, found some really beautiful pieces. Would love to try painting something like that. Again, thank you!! :)

Nice work of art. Love the black background as it makes the grapes pop. Nice detail as the leaves really look super nice. Thank you and good luck.

Comment from Levon7
You have fine digial skills. I try drawing digitally and do a lousy job. Very good rendering. I like how you made it monochromatic. The background looks good with the subject too. Nice piece well done.

This is wonderful what you've done here.
First of all, I like the composition, how we have primarily a vertical look, but how the top curves to the right, and the bottom is ever so slightly curving in.
The colors/shades of green are lovely, and show well against the black.
I like how the grapes each have a shine, how you've given several shades on them that help create depth, how we see them in a cluster at the top, and how the vine shows through at the bottom with three individual grapes.
nice to have a vine visible at the top too.
The leaves are given definition with the lines radiating from the center, the jagged edges, and the the lighter shade at the outside.
Like how the leaves face different directiosn and how the one on the left folds over.
Lovely quality to this.
Like how bright and light it is.
very nice work.

Comment from onyanita
what a wonderful creation with superb composition and lovely lighting and color. the black backdrop really gives it the "lime"light LOL. Have no idea how you put this together but it makes a beautiful work of art. Should do well in the contest.

Comment from Faded Memories
This is very beautiful with the black back ground great choice for the contrast. suggestions would be to off center it or add a bit to one side to keep your eyes flowing through the composition the negative and positive space is too equal. but it is BEAUTIFUL.

Comment from Skyangel02
A very well done painting. It looks to me like a glass grape ornament wired together with copper wire.
The stray strokes around the bottom look a bit untidy in my opinion. I think you should paint them out but overall the work is excellent.
