If so can someone point me toward it. I was able to find this "We encourage creativity in our submissions. Please avoid uploading the standard 3/4 wedge shot; we would much rather see a nicely composed angle instead." but wouldn't I have been rejected for something like that rather than a backlit nose? I see a lot of 3/4 wedges on here and I also have a bit as well uploaded here that's why I am a little confused.
Thanks

Lack of interest is not a rejection reason, but it does have weight in the decision between acceptance and rejection of a questionably lit image. As Loyd said, there is nothing compelling in your image to overcome less-than-ideal lighting. Don't fall into the trap of reading rejection reasons literally. They're never black and white, and much of the text in the rejection reasons is to provide guidelines, not rules. Many complaints have been voiced in these forums over composition rejections when the subject meets the rule of third criteria. Meeting the ROT does not always mean the composition of an image is good.
Backlit nose rejection, Thoughts?
