Luis, it seems as if I reposted the same photo. Here's the actual 100%.

Did you want me to crop the photo to eliminate the unnecessary white around the edges?

Thanks.

Oh since you're using gimp can you easily tell me how to do what you're doing or is it more complicated?

Luis, thanks for checking that again for me. Actually I'm using gimp and not photoshop, so I looked around and tried to find some tutorials for creating the image you did, but couldn't find one that worked. I linked a 100% at the bottom.

DF_Studios, I guess it would be nice to have them include an explanation for the rejection, thanks for the insight. Thanks for the book recommendation too. Thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks for the link cuppacoffee.

Tab, great points, that's going to help keep me busy and moving in the right direction, thank you. Nice trout btw, thanks for helping with an example.

qwerty, I kind of enjoy the challenge, so I guess if all else fails with the main sites, I'll look into doing exactly as you suggested as a backup.

ShadySue, I like the competition, but don't you guys see it's not buddha pictures "on white" or "buddha isolation", it's "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil".

Shumicse, I tried the pen tool, and I'm seeing that's what I need to work at next. Thanks for the input.

How is this picture now? I used the pen tool for isolation.

Beppe I was thinking kinda the same thing, but either way, I'm starting to begin to see the work that is going to be involved.

Dave, Thanks for the insight again.  As I'm receiving more advice, it's getting more specific, and this is exactly what I need. Thanks for the link.

Do you have any links for lighting, or advice off the top of your head? Otherwise I can look through the  istock tutorials again as Sue offered.

Luis, can you tell me what that picture is that you linked?

Thanks, I assume it's a way to check the edges?

How does this look for isolation?

Thanks for the support guys.

Sean, can this correction be made on Photoshop? I did some research on it and did a correction, does this new image appear to be fixed? If not can you describe the problem and or the solution?

It has distortion because I had to scale the image to upload. Thanks for the tip on the isolation on the bottom Sean.

Should I be uploading my pictures to a different host?

Here I took another photo and made sure I didn't crop out the sides. I straightened it, and made the background white.

Thanks everyone for your help. Tickstock/picture5469, I understand how the photos are underexposed now and understand the copyright issues. The content was lame and i was suprised, but now I see that I have to raise the bar.

Sean, I don't think I should worry about shooting stock photography.

Ignard, thanks for the thoroughness of your evaluation, I like that you categorized it by the categories, it's perfect, thanks.

DifyDave, thanks for the thoughts, it gives me something to move towards, I need diversity.

ShadySue, it was a generic rejection, i think.  There were 3 links are those specific, do you think?
