For me, none of what you've posted convey stark. I would try zeroing in on
the empty vines.

All,
I'm working on some images of local vineyards areas (Clarksburg, El
Dorado,
and Shenandoah Valley AVAs). I'm doing a fair bit of digital darkroom
work
and all of the pics in the gallery are "work prints" (i.e., I'm not done
with them yet). The first three images are were taken last month on a
bright sunny-cloudy day in between rainstorms. The vineyards are mostly
bare at this time and I'm trying to convey a certain stark, spare feeling.
The last image was taken last fall right around harvest time and shows an
El
Dorado vineyard fully leafed out.

Please feel free to provide comments and directions you might take the
images.
Thanks,
Mark
