looks like a pale smudge/mark - kindof heart shaped with a cross in the middle.

Is it an important smudge?

Well, after I picked my laptop up from the floor where it had landed after attempting to turn the image upright(light switch on wall at side of mirror or whatever is between the wooden strips was the clue----after I had looked at the image for some time !)I just see what looks like four light panels
perhaps from a reflection in a glass  panelled door, do enlighten me please. Viktoria.

There's no mirror, glass doors or anything around there that would create a reflection. It was a normal photo taken of a person and there was a door open then. I took it myself.

But if it's sideways on, is the phantom (or whatever it is) hanging the wrong way up?   Shocked
