Just for clarification. I saw, I pointed the camera, I shot. No time for any preparation to the leaves or anyting else. I had to go on and follow the group of workers.
But I too love the soft colors and the composition of this grab shot. It symbolizes that day for me.
Thanks for the positive comments on the other two photos in this series.
I wanted to do a photo essay type of project and this was the opening shot I chose. The day was foggy, damp and overcast, hence the flat lighting. A grab shot with no time for reflector and since this image was taken in the middle of the shoot of the workers I didn't want to use the pop=up flash.
If anyone wants to see the series they can visit my web site. It shows all the work that goes into the field harvesting of grapes for wine.

BTW those are chardonay grapes, hidden in the vines. This was a harvest at a Napa vineyard.
like the framing here Bill and the colors but I wished the light was not as flat...and those concord's could use more light to make them snap...nice texture here also...
