I like the way the light is a spotlight on the vintner, but the shadows it is casting are harsh. I suspect this was not a "studio" shot where you could control the lighting, so I will say that I like your composition and the inclusion of the wine barrels. A very nice take on the challenge.
Beautiful lighting. I can almost feel warm tones rising from this image, even though its black and white. Wonderful portrait that would look great in any winery. Creative idea for this challenge. It works very well. 9
Very nice b&w. Nice story about a liquid. Composition is wonderful with the dark cruving roof above the mans white hair. The light making tha shadow of the glass on the barrels is a little out of place in this otherwise softly lit scene. I'd crop the bottom a bit. Nevertheless - very enjoyable, one of my favorites. 9
Gorgeous photo! Focus is perfect, exposure is spot on, challenge met magnificently, imho. I love the archway that frames the vintner - an extraordinary photo! 10
This is my favorite photo this week. I love the lighting and the overall mood/theme of this photo. This photo screams 'wine' to me. I don't like your title though... = 10
