Thanks Joel. The things you do not notice, but then become apparent. I didn't really do a "patrol" of the edges, but you are right. I just tried to remove in LR, and did not really like the results. I may have to try photoshop, but, honestly, I barely know photoshop.
I was just looking, and it looks like the links to flickr were broken for a number of my middle images. odd, but fixed.
That was pretty darn cool, watching those two fight.
