I have had 5 photos rejected and 1 warning on my account. I am new and trying to follow all the rules. So, do you all think this one will be accepted. I don't want my acct to be terminated...

I had to resize from 1600x1200 to 1640x1230 is this okay???

Any other advice would be great....
Thanks

That looks kinda soft, and I'd expect it to be really clear for an isolated white shot of a chilli... um, to be honest, it's also a little small to be isolated in a field of white like that... you didn't need to resize, you could have just grown the white canvas out 5% and had no appreciable difference - if I was a designer, I'd be looking for a chilli at full frame on a white background, then I could add my own bucket load of white space to it... if you were to make it more like the attached file, maybe it'd be seen better - again, I'm not the reviewer - they might like 1/4 size objects centred on the page...

Cheers,
Stuart

Others try hard to get big pictures isolated and you came along with tiny things and upsize it.

I cannot aggree to that - sorry

I only upsized because my camera is only 2.0. I am learning and seeing how it goes before I buy another camera. Didn't mean to offend "others". I work real hard at trying to get the shot right too.
