look in these areas (see notes)







Hope that helps

Don't see much more than maunger pointed out.  There's another spot to the left of the tower than should be cloned out.  The rough edges of the cable don't bother me as that's the twist in the steel that makes up the cable.  Hopefully a reviewer would know that.  The white edging below the cable is a no-no however.  I really don't think the edging at the top of the cloud should be a problem.  Still, it can be removed if needed.  I suspect if this was submitted to SS, it would be rejected for lighting.  They seem to want everything lit to some degree lately ... the tower, background mountains, etc.  Silhouette or not, that's what they seem to be after.  Agree you should clean up the towers, buildings, etc. at the bottom of the image.

Thanks guys (and ladies?), that was really helpful!
I looked up the Raw file and found out it has to do with the sharpening options in C1. (as you suggested)
The sharpening creates the white edges around the cable, mountain, and (in some minor extent) the problem with the cloud.
I used to use 90% sharpening, but went back to 50% hope that is ok  (prefer some sharpening).
Any better (sharpening) software around? Or do all have this problem?

For those interested, I made some screen shots:
the 2 extremes:

400% sharp400.jpg

and 50% sharp50.jpg

once again, thank!

If examined really critically I think there will be very few images submitted where you won't be able to find one or more (often minor) problems. In my personal opinion the problems pointed out in your image (all valid) is not enough to warrant a rejection.  Some reviewers is just hyper critical, especially the iStock reviewers. Sometimes it borders on paranoia.  My suggestion with this particular image: be careful with sharpening - rather use too little than too much, clean up the few dark spots, downsize to 6 MP and re-submit.
