Redo of an earlier version. David suggested that the grapes could be brighter.

Lit with four lights:
1. Left gradient - strobe in a strip box shot through a 5'x7' diffuser
2. Right gradient - strobe in a strip box shot through a 43" diffuser
3. Background light - speedlight under the table aimed at the background
4. "Grape light" - speedlight with a snoot suspended above the set

Best viewed at original size.

Another equally great one. Stellar job of finding just the right background for the bottle and grapes. ~VVV~

An exceptional image, beautifully photographed.

looks good, particularly with the collateral effect of a brighter label...admire your lighting tests, from which one can learn lessons..

The light sources are expertly applied and balanced...San Pedro should offer you big bucks for this :0) or at least
send a crate or two. ~V~

Yes, very clean and crisp and appealing. Okay, I'll take a case.

This one looks better with the extra light, and I do like the brighter grapes. If you keep trying to get a more perfect shot, you'll never get to drink the wine!
