Sensor dust visible.
One way to check, depending on size of monitor being used, is slide the bar at the botton of the web browser quickly back and forwards and you will be able to see it.
One spot on each of your images.
A Baddirty rejection reason is also a hint for you to clean or get your sensor cleaned.

The viewers don't need to know..........the screeners are trained to notice.......as I said, for your benefit.
For cleaning the sensor, I use my Dyson with the attachments..open the shutter, stick the nozzle in and hey presto, the dust is gone
Seriously, search the forum here and there are a few threads on sensor cleaning.
To be honest, if I were you, I would not clean and just use the clone tool. Would only take one second in Photoshop to fix.

Danny-
Here's a trick I use. Invert the image.
Image > Adjustments > Invert (Or Ctrl + "I" on a PC, I think...)
The human eye has trouble seeing subtle changes in midvalues. Actually, the eye sees it, but the brain ignores it. (Unless you have one of those abby-normal screener brains )
Here's your DL shot with dust circled:
Open image in new window for full size.
Fair warning though. This trick also reveals sloppy retouching and cloning.

I usually agree with the screeners, but this is a little over the top, IMHO. I'm with Danny on this one...I looked closely at both and I still can't see the dirty spots.

At first I was very surprised about that rejection, and was about to sound off in defense of my fellow photographer!!! But Gary's right, (the man DOES have eyes like an eagle!!!). It actually looks like a fingerprint on the sensor.
As a quick fix, I'd go into PhotoShop and use a smudge tool over it to blend it in - or even clone a bit of sky in. Do that, and keep doing that until you get your sensor clean. Easy easy easy.
Great shots Danny, and great eye Gary! It's nice to know that the screeners are actually trying to help us out here - they're not just picking on us!

Hi all
Guys, we are not using this as an easy rejection reason, but as I said, to make you aware of sensor dust.
Believe me, you might have some awsome shot only to realise that a small piece of dust will be grately magnified and could be positioned on an image that would be hard to clone.
Danny, great shots so get them cloned and uploaded again!

I ordered the sensor swipes and pec pads and that fluid.. I was really really nervous, its a breeze now.
25 Dehowie: G'day This will always be a problem here until some kind of standardization for screening come in. I personally don't mind having a photo rejected as
26 Cancidas: IMO there is nothing wrong with them. i didn't see the dirt everyone else is talkin about.
27 Twr75: I have found a technique that I find makes it very easier to identify and remove dust spots from images taken with a digital SLR. This is using Photos
28 Dehowie: Another way is in PS7 to spot the blighters. Imge/Adustments/equalize. They now stand out nicely so you can go back and correct them. Have fun Dazz
