probably a very good explanation

while taking pics of my hubby and his cat, a weird mark showed on this picture. he wasn't smoking at the time and i tried to recreate it but couldnt.
the camera i used was a xperia mini pro with flash. i could understand it if it came out on a few photos, but it was only this one.

anyone wanna debunk?

Strand of hair in front of the lens. This anomaly is not a background image but very close to the lens. Enlargement and examination in photoshop shows that it's overlaying the cats ear. It may not show on other pics because it may have moved/blown out of the shot by any slight draft or breath.
