Any good, or just another sharp image of a fuzzy concept?

It only becomes fuzzy after consumption ;)

Otherwise, it is what I call a "utilitarian image" - might be used as an illustration for an article on vineyards, for example. It seems there were possibilities, at the time of capture, to elevate it beyond that: emphasizing the geometry, the lines, the converging and diverging ones, by, for instance, lowering your standpoint (to avoid the brown patches in-between), and using a stronger telephoto to compress it. As sky doesn't belong to that narrative, it could have been completely eliminated, or reduced to a sliver.

I just had a play around with a BW of your image - I think it emphasised it's graphic qualities.

As Slobodan says I reckon it could stand having some of the sky cropped out.

I can see what attracted you to the scene.

I agree wholeheartedly with Slobodan; there appears to be potential for a wonderful abstraction within that scene.
