The duck, water and the blue background were the easiest to get.
The three light sources were not too hard either: a 500w halogen light from under the bowl, another one from the left and a small desk lamp from above.
But the grapes... That was hell! There aren't any. It is not yet the season around here.
After a whole day of running around market places, all I could find were those tiny immature grapes from a decorative grapes plant near my parent's house.
But they are five, they are green and they are grapes.
The funniest challenge ever! I'm still wondering where the April 1st joke is...

Love the contrast between the dark and light. But the use of a frame (or whatever the white box is) emphasizes the slightly "off" feeling of the grapes' path and the bowl edge.

Cool composition and basic idea. I love the split level shooting with water below. The focus seems a bit blurred on the duck, perhaps intentionally smart blurred? The Light source from the right side is too hot on the bottom three graps and the duck cheek. Apart from these minor things, one of my favorites to win this strange challenge.
