I just looked at mine really close it almost looks like a flaw on the glass on the opposite side of the rear element, like a microscopic fracture in the glass or something. You can only see it it at a certain angle, and if you shine light on the glass or through it, it disappears.

Are you positive it's not a reflection you are seeing? I thought something was on mine before and then realised it was an obscure reflection due to the shape of the rear element. No offence intended

I quit looking inside my lenses. It made me crazy.

Been there, no it's not a reflection.

Morning snuggle @ 3 days old. Thank god my camera was already in my hands, in servo, burst mode and wide open. I showed Momma the photo as soon as I took it and she started crying..... Man, it's gonna be hard to go back to work tomorrow. I just wanna spend all day, every day with these two. SIGH...!

A lot of crazy awesome baby & children pics floating around in this thread ; )

Ok did you have to do some stitching to get everybodies cooperation at the same time??

Nice shot!

Haha, thanks! Amazingly, no stitching in that one. We had others where the cat was on top (the original plan) but wouldn't stay put, Joy (the one on top in this one) was hiding under the hay bales in the center (four dogs and a dog butt), and a bunch where my speedlight wasn't charging fast enough since in my rush I'd forgotten to hook up my external battery pack (total darkness). It was cold out there too! Glad this one worked out the way it did, with Toast (the cat) sort of doing a side-entrance photobomb.

^Love it. And kudos to bwhip for getting all those animals in one shot!
