Harvest

It's harvest time at the vineyards and as we speak, these babies are coming off the vines. By tomorrow, they'll mostly be picked. I added the water onto these because they were dry...but about 10 minutes later, mother nature thought she could do better, and she was right!
It's kinda hard to shoot these grapes and find a decent grouping...but here's one of my attempts.
These grapes are pinot gris. You can tell by their pinkish grey color. Pinot noir grapes are really dark, and reisling grapes are green.

This is a really cool shot. I like the two diagonal branches and the water drops. Looks perfect for a stock shot.

I agree with Jeremy about the branches framing the grapes. Great focus. Pretty cool.

Really a nice clear comp... I'd consider cropping away some of the bottom. 4x5 aspect would be even better for me.... nice with the added water !!

Color; sharpness and light are all dead on!

Vibrant and nice DOF, no nits here. I would say this could easily be picked up someone in the wine business for stock use. Nice image Rick!

Pretty cool, Rick. It's a very traditional composition you've got there, but you've done a really nice job at it.

I might be tempted to clone out some of the spots in the lower background leaf. Or you can leave them there; they kinda give a hint that it's fall.

Real nice, Rick.
