Many thanks to everybody who voted for this image, congrats to the placegetters in both categories and to Jamdiver on winning in eligible. (Better late than never but my work is keeping me busy, I even missed the voting.)
@Lee: Meanwhile, I have found the original file with the exif data. The lens was only the 28-135 IS at full aperture.

echo many of the words that have been said. This is a beautiful capture. The lighting, texture and the OOF background and the bokeh mimicing those backlit grapes. Really glad you had the cam with you. A pitty it would be if you didn't, because we wouldn't get a chance to see this. Thanks for sharing it with us.

The bokeh looking so great, just wondering what fstop and lens was used that time?

Thanks,

Techo

This shot was not planned at all. When we arrived at our friends house for a short visit a few weeks ago, my eyes were captured at the first glance by these grapes, illuminated by the beautiful evening sun. Luckily I had my camera with me. Thanks for your kind comments everybody. -Gerald

That's some crazy shadow detail in those grapes! Nice work Gerald.

Great sunlight and can see right thru the grapes. Nice lighting and DOF background.

Beautiful backlighting and detail here, Gerald. And the lovely bokeh in the background repeats the pattern of the grapes very nicely.
