Default grapes

My neighbor's grapes have grown over and through the fence. I've been keeping my eye on their growth as I suspected they'd make for some nice photos once they got to a decent size. I took this today. Any suggestions, etc. would be wonderful!

Nice shot of the grapes on the vine. I assume these have a 'dull' finish to their skin and don't reflect any highlights. Was this overcast available light? Cropped just a tad tight. May want to try a shot with some spray from a water bottle. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Thanks, Lee. Yes, the grapes have a dull finish, and it is overcast today. I'll try your suggestions about cropping and experimenting with wetting the grapes. Thanks again.

clockdoc: You took the words right out of my mouth, about a little spray of water.
