I think it could've been a bit better with either a different crop or composition - as it is, it gives the impression of the head being chopped off...

Like the pic, but not sure about the glow effect in the foreground shrubbery

Thanks for the update - I can see a few of the 'hard edged' areas now - under the armpit and where the jersey tucks into the pants seem to be the most revealing - I wonder if this is being caused by the limited color gamut of your color mode in-camera (standard RGB)? Are you converting to Adobe RGB in processing? Try setting your camera to AdobeRGB and keep that profile throughout your workflow -

My wife has a D50 and we only shoot in aRGB RAW, however, when we first bought the camera, she (unknowingly) was using the default setting of sRGB and it sure seemed like we had a lot of quirky little color problems similar to what you experienced above ... in addition to how much more vibrant aRGB is, I would suggest giving it a shot if you are able to consistently reproduce the problem that got your pic disqualified.

Good Luck and let me know how it goes,
Jason

I would like to know too ... did you do some "spot editing"? - I looked around your pic and couldn't find anything ... did you clip something out of the sky/background?

...maybe someone with a keen eye can fill us in on what went wrong here ... ?
