Shooting Stars...I think
If not, what are they? I sure like them though.

D200
Nikkor 80-200 2.8 w/5T closeup lens, haven't used this attachment in a long time, but I sure like it when I do. Couldn't get parallel with the flowers for overall sharpness and didn't want too much depth of field, so it's not as sharp as I'd like, but I do like it; makes a very nice 12 x 18.
Gitzo 320
PS levels/curves/sharpening

Yep, them thar are cyclamen.....I got them in my front yard :smile:
They do come in a larger and miniature size that almost fooled me too.
I also like them because they remind me of shooting stars
but I don't live at 7,000' elevation so I have to settle for these cuties.
These are the kind of images that REALLY show you if your sensor
is clean or not :wink: hope yours was :biggrin:
Macro is also one of my loves ....

In gratitude,
Nelcha
