Sweet Transitions
The new season is upon me ... grapes are ripening on the vine at the local vineyard. After overnight rain showers I arose to perfect conditions for making images of this year's crop. Nice to be out for a change!

Wayne, very nice shot, it makes me want to grab them and eat them! What kind of vino does the winery produce?

Very cool Wayne. The light looks grape! I mean great! The droplets add lots of detail to this. Nice to see ya out shooting and enjoying such beauty.

Great DOF and light, and I agree that the water adds an extra dimension :toast:

Splendid shot, Wayne! The water makes those grapes looks so fresh and tasty - makes my mouth water. And the back/side light really makes the background pop. Glad to see you're getting some time in behind a camera.

Awesome image Wayne. Not much to say that hasn't already so I'll just add my kudos.

I really like it, Wayne - it's really crisp and has a clarity that is refreshing. Makes me want to go out and buy a bottle of whatever these will go into!

There's a nice glow to the image from the backlit leaves that is enhanced by the catch lights in the water droplets. Would you be open to taking out the small imperfections in the fruit and leaves?
