Agree but how did you find out about my dirty sensor?

The spots are visible.

Could those spots also be on the lens?

Details look great but so little color. Purposely?

maybe i tried to clear too much from a very dark image

At the f/16 you were shooting, yes. Their circular shape suggests that they are actually on the lens somewhere.

In don’t think so. I get such spots when my sensor is dirty. But who knows.

A good way to spot sensor dust is to stop down the lens as much as possible, and in manual focus mode (you want a blurry photo) take a photo of a uniformly illuminated wall. I often use a long exposure time (we are stopped down, anyway), and move and twist the camera to even out the exposure. Then, in the raw processor, add tons of contrast.

I’m not sure. See How to Spot Dust on Your DSLR Sensor. However, if we continue, we should do so under a new topic in Hardware. @DanielLikesDT , please open a new topic there or ask a mod like @paperdigits to split off the posts to a new topic, if you need more help with the sensor/lens spots.
