I think it is a speck of dust on my lens. its in all from this set. I tried photoshop it out but cant seam to get it to look right.

I think we are talking about different things. What I thought was a bug on my monitor is in fact a buoy, right by the sunlight reflection. I downloaded your pic and blew it up and sure enough its a buoy. lol. what are you talking about is there you cant remove?

I took out the buoy that looks like a bug and some other worm looking thing I found in one of the rays of sunlight. Didn't really see any other blemishes.

It was the worm thingy I was talking about and it looks great how did you get rid of the buoy?

 

[Ernicus]

ah, yeah the worm thingy looked kinda icky, lol. just used the spot healing brush tool in ps. 3 second fix, great tool.

If you like the buoy, you can always move it also. personally I think it comes across as a speck of something though.
