Ok, here is a link to the full size image I am trying to get past the inspectors…

This is the verbiage that was included in the last rejection:

+++ Bottom of the image +++

I CAN’T SEE IT! (Have looked at it in a couple of graphic programs *including PS)

Please help me out and tell me what they want done here!?

Sorry, it is not letting me activate the link... must be my ol' PC... time to reboot...[/size][/font]

It's a bit hard to tell on-screen, but is there just the faintest thin white line across the bottom, which just needs cropping out?

I wondered about that (not that I can see it, but just got a tablet and know as I got used to it some strange things were going on while I edited the pic)... And, I don't wont to resubmit it until I KNOW I have it right...


Thanks for the input!

There is definitely a one-or-two-pixel white line running across the bottom.

Whiteway... thanks... I had to zoom in to 700 % to see it... not sure what is getting older... my PC or my eyes!

Don't know about your eyes, but when you are photo-editing definitely give the tablet a miss.

Yes I had a job to see it on a good quality 24" screen at 100%. No hope with a tablet I'd have thought.

Forgive me for saying, because this apparently wasn't the rejection reason, but the isolation seems too sharp in my opinion. Around the arm, gun, and back of neck especially. Unnaturally so. I also found the grayness on the fingers distracting. I'm guessing the fingers were a little too bright so you burned them a bit, but too much I think.

I'm pretty sure this'll get a rejection for isolation whenyou re-submit - it's just too 'scissorish'.

The inspector had faulted my previous version for the isolation not beng sharp enough...

My issue with this image is the focus. First thing you do when you look at a person is to look at their eyes. In this shot, the eyes are not in focus, but the focus does not seem to be at the tip of the barrel either - it seems to be somewhere randomly half way down the gun. The combination of soft focus on the face and a sharp cut out creates an even more jarring effect too.

I agree with Mike, vandervelden and kelvinjay here. 3 more reasons for it to be rejected.
It has no chance whatsoever with this isolation, I fear.

yes, more feathering on isolation is needed. Focus is wrong, as Kelvin said, it should be tip of the barrel or eyes. Trying to fix (dodge tool) overexposed hand is obvious and unnatural. Otherwise, not a bad image.

Agreed, this is a guaranteed isolation rejection.
