Could be flares from a bright point light source. Can you post a resized full frame shot?

My guess is that it may be something on the sensor. Is it on all photos?

If you were using the flash then it might be this:

I will post the full picture later. It is only on that one picture. It looks like there is a star in the circle.

If you'll notice, the edge of the circles are well defined. That's pretty characteristic of a sensor fungal infection- Ringworm Canonis. Apply antifungal cream to your AA filter twice a day for ten days. Wash with soap and water between applications. Change your camera's socks on a frequent basis.

And are there other species of this ringworm as well? Ringworm Nikonis, Ringworm Minoltis, Ringworm Olympis?! :lol:

I know there's no Ringworm Leicas - the anti-fungal coating is half the price of the lens!

As a matter of fact there are. The way to distinguish the Canon variety, is its ability to emit beautiful colors when exposed to light. The others are more muddy and less sharply defined. Fortunately they all respond to the same treatment. To prevent recurrences, always keep an L lens or 50mm f/1.4 on your camera.

I heard there was now an L resistant strain Ringworm Canonis Elposer that is a sort of creamy off white with the male of the species having a bright red ring.
