  3. Ah, we all have a bit of a smudge and this one surely doesn't spoil the photo. Hopefully our own little smudges don't spoil us either! Beautiful shot for the day, Sandy!
    Have a great weekend!

    I'm the kind of guy who passions to seek innovative stuff. Currently I am fabricating my personalized photovoltaic panels. I am making it all alone without the assistance of my staff. I'm utilizing the internet as the only path to acheive that. I came across a truly awesome website which explains how to build pv panels and wind generators. The internet site explains all the steps needed for building solar panels.

    I'm not really sure about how correct the information given there is. If some people over here who have xp with these things can have a see and give your feedback in the site it would be awesome and I would highly appreciate it, cause I extremely passion solar panel construction.

    Thanks for reading this. You guys are the best.

  8. Ah yes .. the ever misplaced/disappearing lens cloth.. I had this nifty little sac in which a lens cloth resided, it had a latch on it so you could hook it onto a camera strap or any other place it fit .. its gone, vanished .. I really miss it ...

    LOVE the shot, mote and all!

  9. I've got a spare you can use. But honestly? I can't see what you're talking about. Maybe my monitor's dirtier than your lens, but all I see is a spectacular sunset. (Or is it sunrise? Either way, it's gorgeous.)

  17. Beautiful sky picture, who cares about this smudge

    ReplyDelete
  18. The smudge adds light to the rest of the image. As smudges to our soul do to us. We only know great sadness when we know great happiness. Two things go together, hand in hand. Perfection and flaw.

  19. Nice shot...I don't see a smudge..I see a small flare on the water from the sun..sort of greenish.

  26. When I was a child, I was told or read that the Navojo people while weaving their blankets deliberately add a mistake. So your smudge actually adds to the photograph.
