                </div>
            </div>
        </div>

See that your modal is not nested under any other elements... If it is, try to put it just before the body closing tag — Jaqen H'ghar, May 01 '17 at 17:17
makes no difference at all still faded background overlaying entire image & screen & still unable to close — Chris Yates, May 01 '17 at 17:28
I have also tried the solution involving removing the position: style as well as outlined here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10636667/bootstrap-modal-appearing-under-background?rq=1 but still no difference — Chris Yates, May 01 '17 at 17:42

Fixed!

My css contained z-index:1

I've commented that out and it now works perfectly!
