Hmmm I think there's a bit of truth in both of your analyses. There was some sort of plague of horrible fresh water dwelling insects (possible related to Sean's Aunt Edna)following both our dogs around so that may be some of it.
However, I think you'll find it's mud! Don't be fooled by those white feet - if there's mud around she'll find it, and Jack will be 3.4 steps behind.
I did a double check in DPP to check the RAW conversion and the result was very close to ACR. Good pickup though - certainly made me have a closer look after you mentioned it.
Cheers, Ben.

Bugs or noise, I guess.
well then... maybe it is the dirty little critters

Sean, hi!
I like Fiona-like picture upper left.
Another amazing shot is down left. What did you use to light the hill slopes? (I can't imagine electricity bill amount)[Y]
