So, somehow I have a sunspot and a wipe streak on my lens. Didn't notice till editing a photo.

So here is the Dilemma.

Do you take out the sunspot and streak to achieve the most perfect picture?

Do you take out just the spot and leave the streak, still looks like it was added in PS, but lordy, it makes the picture look amazing.

Or leave both blemishes in, as it shows it was really part of the photo you shot and the streak looks amazing.

You pose another dilemma: how to advise on what will make a photo look better without seeing it ... but in that case, my instinctive response is ...

If the streak makes the photo "look amazing" leave it in; if the spot bugs you, take it out ...

I know, that is the other dilemma, it could be for a challenge, possibly. So much stress about a streak on a Monday morning LOL =\

I have found with this site that there are things in images that don't bother me in the slightest that make some voters go off the rails entirely.

If YOU are okay with it, or even like it, leave it be.
