Very few of my images are not manipulated to one degree or another. I 

have been up front about that in my postings, therefore there is no 

reason for me to claim it was a straight image, if it wasn't. If I did a 

sloppy job, I hope that would be pointed out. I see what you mean, but 

don't understand it. The only thing I can think of is a masking error 

when I made one of my levels adjustment. Thanks for pointing that out. 

With you guys I will certainly have to be more careful.
