The lower portion of the photo is a reflection of the background stripes on a polished granite kitchen counter, not an edit or a clone. It doesn't line up because it was never intended to line up. I can see how it would puzzle viewers. I just liked the effect, so I kept it in the photo rather than cropping it out. Thanks for the comments.
