These are all gorgeous but, oh my . . . Akira and Bjorn!  I wish I had prints of those images!

Jan, love the scene.  Now I wish I had a monito! :P

Same lens and f/22 setting. The endearing beauty of a Nordic summer and being able to enter the water without clothes.

The 300/4.5 ED-IF makes some nice stars! The Walimex 85/1.4 not so much...

This is absolutely no match for the artistic quality of the previous contributions but the ask is for light stars only :)
Cat's eyes under flash, found on a backup of a previous phone. I don't think smartphones have diaphragm blades so I guess the diffraction is caused by the slit iris, which would explain the 4 rays.

Looking at the position of the center of the pattern and thinking about it, it is probably possible to have 2 patterns per eye, at the high and low end of the iris, which would make it even more interesting :)

Laser eyes getting you in focus. Take cover!

This is one interesting cat photo so different from all the others.
