What does this mean?
properly fill white background

I decided to give a vector illustration a try. Is the graphic supposed to be in a box?

maybe as the background put the beach and the sky on the whole image without leaving it white. It will look much better instead of having it cut as you did, I believe ....

I don't have a screen of what the photo looks like exactly with a transparent background, but here is one I did up to show you what I was talking about - make sure to properly fill the whole background =)

you're not the first one that has done this ... just fill the background and resubmit =) We don't want our designers downloading an "unfinished" product ;)

If it was also left completely restrained, wouldn't it be more viable as clipart, so text can wrap around it properly? E.G. either/or - a full white background, or no unfinished edges but completely transparent?

Cheers,
Stuart
