I also could see that there were some small gradients in Mike's work even without the gamma burst.
Many of my images also have small gradients, doughnuts etc
But many imagers (self included) present their hard won photons "as is" and stretching/ enlarging them after the fact to buggery is a bit like running a UV light over a Picasso i.e. Who cares if it doesn't glow in the dark?
But with Mikes HOG image (...no offence Mike

) The background levels are so painfully close to the signal that it is very hard to control them without altering the signal data. So you make a call, and often leave it as is. While I try to avoid getting there, I see no problem with this, so long as the overall signal makes the noise trivial.
