Hi Jan, I must say that I hardly believe that! I'd like to trust you, but... there are clearly two light sources that light the grapes (the natural light shadows are longer and lighter that the black shadows that appear to be the consequence of a closer light). There is no other way I can think unless there was a surface that reflected the sun light (but the result wouldn't have been the same).
Are you 100% sure?!
