I was just out of bed, having my first coffee of the day and saw this huge cactus, normally some ugly thing, but this time it showed some fruits. Because I had nothing else to do I just took a quick shot and was amazed by the sharpness, colors, bokeh. It’s amazing how somtimes the pictures of which we expect the most will disappoint us while the effortless ones turn out to be great…
My wife has an easy Sony point and shoot and can’t stand anymore to hear me talk about diafragma, ISO, shutterspeed 
So… it’s great to find some friends in this comunity, with the greatest compliments to my most charming teacher Oksana

Great shot. In this case the diafragma was just right to differentiate the varied distances between the cactus arms.
I’m guessing f/2.8 as the metadata is not shown in the file’s properties>details.
Is the image out of camera, or is there some post?

Actually I used an aperture of f/5.6 with a shutterspeed of 1/400 and an ISO of 125. Using a lot of tele (135 mm) gave me e nice depth of field in this case! And yes, the picture just came out of the camera like this, no post-production, only a little crop.
