image categories off by 1

I have the following code in my theme

<?php
$display_categories = array(3,12,5,6,7);
foreach ($display_categories as $category) { 

	query_posts("showposts=1&cat=$category");
	$wp_query->is_category = false;
	$wp_query->is_archive = false;
	$wp_query->is_home = true;
?>
		<div id="idk">
			<a href="<?php echo get_category_link($category);?>">
				<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/<?php foreach((get_the_category()) as $cat) { echo $cat->category_nicename; }?>banner.png"></a>
				<div id="midcolumnleft">
					<?php
					query_posts("showposts=1&cat=$category");
					$wp_query->is_category = false;
					$wp_query->is_archive = false;
					$wp_query->is_home = true;
					?>

For some reason each category image is posted one section lower than it should be. The links however are correct.
