what is this ?

hello all... hope you all had a happy xmas and great new year... now onto why im here..
I took this picture with my 2mg camera phone with flash new years night.. its of my dad outside the garage.. the garage has no heat source in or around it and noone else was there as it was late. he wasnt smoking and nor was i. if it was hes breath it would come from underneath and it is too far from where i was to be mine or coming from wrong place. if you look closely it looks like a face in the mist or maybe its just me wanting to see it.. it was a clear night not foggy out icey.. can anyone tell me what they think this is or what it could be.. thank you... first is normal 2nd picture is circled where i can see a face.. forgot to say this has NOT been edited in any way to make it look like anything.

thanx all

Quick Reply and a hello to ace!

You have caught a good pic of what we'll collectively never know what the mist/smoke is. I do see the face you have circled and the digi cam leaves us with many wonderments, eh?

I saw you online from Oxford so I thought I would look up your one effort here. I have just one on stand-by too. It's funny how long a dusty spot with no replies will stand-by... All together now! Meaning all the dusty paranormal web sites where a true accounting lies in wait.

thanx mk for your comment

technology today is wonderful... i have posted this picture a few places and a majority believe there is something to it.. got a couple of sceptics

any more comments welcome whether good or bad.. ty guy and girls

The 'mist' is about an inch from the lens of the camera - I would be willing to bet money that this one is contamination. It is actually VERY close to the camera
It could be your breath or possibly a smudge on the lens.
