Worse: The whole niddle of the shroud disappears: There's a water and waves behind and above Kerry's head, then the shroud to the left of Kerry, then a smudge that looks like stuff has been erased, then gun barrel is missing (it seems like it should be aiming through the center guy's head!), then there's water again.
Honestly, I think you guys are trying to hard. Earlier, you thought that it was a different group of enlisted guys in the photos, but that isn't the case.
Not on my monitor.... though I will stipulate that the hue and intensity are very similar to the water in the background, possibly creating the illusion that the shroud "disappears" depending on how it is displayed on a monitor.
Suggestion: try varying the contrast/brightness, and you'll see the shroud is still there, though with a big blotch that looks smudged.
