Drew, if it were mine I'd rescan it, use your current post-scanning skills, and resubmit it. The color isn't great and it looks like it is at the limit of sharpening. Oh Steve, the screeners are in Las Vegas and are quite good especially since the Web Site must be run on a shoestring budget.

Here is a picture I recently submitted and was almost positive they would reject it because it is cross lit without light on the front. They did because it didn't meet their lighting standard. Anyhow, I think the lighting makes it a neat picture instead of a run-of-the-mill picture.
