Hi @SandyR-B! This image is really striking. I wonder if it would work in a 1:1 aspect ratio, rather than the 3:2? The blurry edges (left and right) become distracting for me. So, that may answer your question about the blur. Everything in the immediate area surrounding the grapes (which look for delicious!) works beautifully.

Sandy, sorry I missed this one earlier. It is deliciously colored and great focus on the cluster. I agree with @Susanna_Euston regarding the crop. I think square would look really good. I think these look like Cabernet Sauvignon variety, but I could be wrong on that.
