Hello Blackwalkingman,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I see from your message that you're unable to see a full screen photo for your contact.
What you're seeing is called a lens flare. This effect occurs when you have a bright light source entering directly through the lens. This can occur with all types of cameras, even the D-SLR cameras that are used by professional photographers. By changing the angle at which you take the photo, and not having the light source directly in the area of focus, you'll notice the lens flare minimize, or not occur. This article will provide you with more information: If you see a flare, haze, or spot near the edge of your photo or video.
All the best!
