Fixed it. The images I was using for ‘Featured Image’ were too small. I am such a stupido.

Hopefully this helps someone else and keeps them from losing hours of time.

Thanks for your replies guys.

I made a child theme so that I would not lose all of my changes if and when Twenty Ten gets updated. In the theme I have removed tags, removed ‘posted on’ date, changed the header image size and added a thumbnail to each post by changing the <div class>. To add the thumbnail, there are four <div class=”entry-content”> in the twentyten loop.php, I use this code on div three and four:

<div class="entry-content">
    <?php /* if we have a thumbnail then show it */ ?>
    <?php if(has_post_thumbnail()): ?>
        <div class="cms-image" style="float: left; margin: 5px 5px 0 0;">
        <a>"> <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a>
        </div>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
    <?php /* REMOVED the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); */ ?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->

I have tried various different sizes. All return the same result, which is the cropped center cut of the image. No dice.

A call somewhere is cropping the images, but I don’t know where from.
