@Cynlee - > none too nice of the gremlin to leave trash in your shot :( Yes The way I was using the word, the trash was the gremlin. ... I attended a nature photography workshop in 1986 given by Vici Zaremba + Steve Diehl. If anything unexpected appeared in an image, Steve called it a gremlin. His example was a near the ground shot with a little extra ... a small golden oval with the word "Passed". MGD
