Laura, Illinois (United States)

Had passed photogenic farm that is the subject of the photo on my way to pick up produce at another farm. Decided to stop and take a couple of shots upon my return and took three images with a Sigma SD15 DSLR equipped with a zoom lens. Took two long shots and one tighter shot from the same spot beside the road and noticed nothing out of the ordinary.After returning home later in the day, downloaded the digital files onto a Macbook Pro and converted the RAW images to JPEG using Sigma PhotoPro6 software and performed some basic editing to sharpen overall image clarity and color vibrance using Affinity1.3.4 image editing software. Upon final review, I selected the tight shot as my favorite and was preparing to submit to an online literary magazine for potential publication when I noticed what appears to be a small circular object/defect on the image. Normally, I would just chalk this up to lens schmutz, flare or aberration, but note that the object/defect seems to exhibit some reflectivity when viewed enlarged. Note: Object/Defect is located above the forth power line down from the top of the image and right of the grain bin.
