Does this qualify as commercial?

I took this photo on a tour through Napa Valley, California. I like the photo and have thought it would work in an advertisement or something similar. What do you think?

Maybe the white dust should be cleaned first?

I'd agree. Nice job. It may need a slight contrast adjustment depending on the use, but it's a nice shot. Those grapes look so perfect, they're almost plastic!

I agree again. Very nice shot. The grapes make me hungry. I would agree also with cleaning up the white though.

What is the white dust?

I don't know. As you may know, it is very dry and dusty during the harvest season so it may simply be dust. But, perhaps it is a pesticide? These grapes were near a gravel parking area so it could be that too.

I don't think it's dust if what you're referring to is the "dust" on the grapes. I wouldn't clean it off. It's part of the grape skin, and from what little I know from a few vineyard visits, it adds to the character of the grape. A patina of sorts. Dust on the leaves? That might be a different story.

I think the image looks really FINE just as it is!
