Thank you @Karl_K ! I thought so. I am not crazy!
@Karl_K Could it be a reflection of the setting?

@Karl_K I was told the setting could be ruined if I replace the stone. Is that true?
In the bottom picture where the camera is at is where the diamond is trying to draw light from.Thank you @Karl_K . I appreciate your feedback. Just so I am clear, the camera or my face were causing the darkness? Should I be concerned and seek out a replacement if all stones do this to some extent. Does this mean not eye clean btw?

2nd set of eyes but may have to pay for full appraisal to get it. Talk to them about it and they may discount.Thank you for the reply @Karl_K ! Your comment about not being a train wreck rattled me a bit. Not sure how concerned I should be. I am confused. Is it necessary to get a full appraisal if I just want a second pair of eyes to see the stone in person? Thank you again for taking the time to answer my questions!!!
I did. Was seeing what I thought was a dark spot which had me concerned. I thought vs1 should be eye clean. I think I may be confusing obstruction with inclusion. So now I am confused. Of course all the perfect stones on pricescope add to self doubt. As a first timer I am not sure what to think. I want to get a great stone of course. Yuketiel says it is eye clean.
@sledge yea saw that, that is what the shallow mains and twisted lowers comment above is based on.
Anytime you see a fairly large diffrence between one or 2 sets of arrown shafts that most often means there is twist in the lowers and likely a wide ranging pavilion angle.
Green circled area compared to the rest of the other areas between the arrow shafts.
