This is very nice and effective digital art. I like that you have made subtle changes and not over edited. Love the lighting and the black backdrop, interesting subject matter as well. Great stuff! :D

Such a stunning piece of digital art. I just love the limited use of colour and the simple yet so effective composition. The detail here is outstanding and I just can't bring myself to award any less than 6 stars for this very clever work.

I love this painting. You must really know your way around the program to be able to do this. May I ask," Did you actually draw some parts of this or did you use some form of clipart?" is that the right term for it? I think that this is an excellent entry into this comp. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so very very much, Janet. No, it's a digital painting--I can't draw worth a hoot, LOL. And no clipart :) Thank you also for the extra special rating. I truly appreciate it.

You are most welcome

Love this! Is this made in illustrator with gradient mesh? Good job on the contrast and various subtle shades of green! Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

This is supurb. I love the way you have caught the light on the grapes making them look luscious and ripe. The detail in the leaves has been executed beautifully. The background sets off your work to perfection. Well done Frances

Nice, I like the color and lighting especially on the black background. I am not really sure what digital painting is but I like it.
