 This grapevine originates in a neighbor's yard, climbs over a fence and a couple of trees to end up in my garden.

Handheld shot, with late afternoon golden sunlight conditions. Cropped a little off the left, very slight tone adjustment, and a tiny bit of sharpening to compensate for resizing. I DID NOT wipe of some dust to make the shiny spots--I found it that way .... Almost submitted this completely unedited, but didn't quite dare ....

It's amazing how similar our pics are, yours look a lot healthier than mine. I think the water trick would have really looked good on yours because you are much closer and they are cleaner looking. Good Job!

Light spots are distracting. Excellent detail.

You shined up the bottom grapes and brought my focus down and see that big leaf below that. A little distracting. 4

I would have sprayed a little water on them to make it look as if after the rain, plus the sun rays would make the drops look nice

nice shot, it looks like someone touched the big grape and made is shine. that is a place where spot editinig would be handy.
