In keeping with: Shallow Depth of Field / Bokeh
None of these photos are portfolio ready, but rather snapshots and having fun with my camera.
In looking at the pictures your eye can't always pick the correct Aperture a photograph the photographer used...there is more optical science involved.
Thus, I discovered years ago that a shallow Depth of Field isn't always shot at f/1.4 and f/2.8.
On photos 1 through 6 take a guess as to what the Aperture was. All images taken with the Canon R5.
Setting will be in the comments section.

Great experiment, Dean. Thank you for posting all the apertures. I really enjoyed and appreciated this post.
Thanks for posting the info on these Dean.
Geeting desired DOF to separate subject from the background is always a challenge, helped somewhat by longer lenses. I would have guessed #1 & #2 had the smallest apertures.
