I had planned to get out today and shoot some new material, but by the time I'd finished everything else I needed to do, it didn't happen. So here's one more from my recent(ish) trip to Germany.
And in case you're not sure what you're looking at: this is a small fork-lift truck that's used to move crates between the vines for the harvested grapes.

The driver in the wing mirror is a nice touch.

fallait aller le chercher ce reflet dans le miroir!
comment byTom at 10:54 PM (GMT) on 6 November, 2007
Nice colours, and the mirror definitely also does it for me!
comment bynferreira at 11:10 PM (GMT) on 6 November, 2007
The tones are superb and the composition is excellent. The mirrors make this image richer.

nice composition and colors! the 70-200 rocks!!
comment byRobert at 02:54 AM (GMT) on 7 November, 2007
That's an awfully clean mirror. The symmetry in the truck vines make this one perfect for centered composition.

This is a profoundly great photograph.
comment byNavin Harish at 05:45 AM (GMT) on 7 November, 2007
Very nice. I like the reflection of the man in the mirror
comment byAnnatt at 06:52 AM (GMT) on 7 November, 2007
I Love this one! And for me as for the others it's the mirror that does it. It feels like getting a sneakpeak at something that you shouldn't be allowed or able to look at.

Reflecting on this David ... I'm surprised that no one has commented on how well lubricated the chain/belt is on the lifting mechanism. ;-) richard

Nice depth of field and strong colours
comment bytheturninggate at 12:18 PM (GMT) on 7 November, 2007
In my humble opinion, this is the best shot you've posted in ages. I haven't much cared for many of your recent posts, but this one I really like. Great color, excellent composition.
comment by JP at 01:14 PM (GMT) on 7 November, 2007
Very nice composition. I have to ask though, was the mirror image cut and pasted in? The grate doesn't seem to be reflected behind the driver.
comment by Saito at 05:51 PM (GMT) on 7 November, 2007
This is such a great shot. i love the composition and the colours and of course the cleverness of capturing this hard working man's face in the mirror. It would also be a good close up shot of the man as well
comment bydjn1 at 09:10 PM (GMT) on 7 November, 2007
Thanks everyone. And just to clarify, this is a straight shot; i.e. I didn't paste the face into the mirror.
comment byJosef Renklint at 02:55 PM (GMT) on 8 November, 2007
Very good. Love the reflection.
comment byRichS at 07:14 PM (GMT) on 8 November, 2007
Love the fact you got a perfect reflection in the wing-mirror. The vibrancy is excellent as well.
comment byChristian Wiedel at 11:44 PM (GMT) on 8 November, 2007
Clever one! :) The colors are lovely too.
comment bytetsu at 01:27 PM (GMT) on 10 November, 2007
Interesting idea!! Nicely done! :-)

This is my favorite of the vineyard shots so far.
