I'm a beginner at this photography thing. Any hints, tips, constructive criticism or comments are welcome and appreciated.

Fantastic! I am always impressed by the way we will cultivate any little place that offers a foothold. This is such an unforgiving-looking spot.

@Pied Crow: Yeah it's an amazing part of the country and it does look pretty forbidding. It can be very cold in winter, and very hot in summer. The temperature extremes produce very good wine though! Thanks for your comment.

Interesting shot,makes me feel a little dizzy.Did you also turn the camera on it´s side for a slightly different photo?

@Anthony: Yes I did, but I wasn't pleased with the result - I didn't get the framing right. Thanks for your comment.

Hi Margie, great wide-angle shot. Looks like a hard land to cultivate although there is quite a bit going on there.
