A much prettier photo, Highlights a little blown. I would crop out the bottom flowers as they are a little soft and they are too light, it would also make for a more balanced image IMO.
This is not a vine. This is the common house plant called the Spider Plant. Which also grows very well outdoors in frost free areas.Spider plants are botanically known as Chlorophytum comosum. What you see are not vines they are called runners.
As a photo i agree with friiskiwi about the highlights. But knowing this plant well and knowing it has a wild and woolly growing habit i think you have captured the essence of this plant very well.
According to this site http://www.fernlea.com/vines/spiderplant.html the spider plant is classified as a vine. So I'd say this is on topic.
It is a nice photo. Aside from the blown highlights (which doesn't really bug me in this shot anyway) it gives a nice take on the vine subject while remaining subtle and quaint. Good work!

Thank you all for your input. @ Angloaussiekiwi, I made sure to research the spider plant to ensure it was actually a vine because I wasn't sure either.
I'll try the crop and see how it looks although I have a feeling that I won't like it much. I have a pet peeve about subjects being cut off in photo. LOL
Nice, just wish you had a little deeper DOF, The wines that are sharp are pin sharp, but others are quite soft.
Howdie stranger!
