Is that junk on your sensor?

I like the composition of the head, but not its position in the frame. There is too much moss on the right side.



I'm not sure I agree with Erik about it being a two stops under, but it could it would be interesting to lighten it up a little and see the outcome. Bringing up the shadows, particularly might help.



My concern was the black mark on the right side. Is that something on your sensor? It looks too sharply focused for that, but I can't figure out where else it might be? You might get a blower bulb (not canned air!) and gently blow the dust off your sensor using your camera's sensor cleaning mode.



One good way to look for sensor dust is to shoot a photo of a clean white background (paper works well) that is out of focus at the max f/stop for your lens. If there is junk on your sensor, it will show up as spots on the image.
