What is the mark at the bottom of the frame? Is that where you painted out some white but missed?

Also, show a 100% crop since that is what they look at for noise.

wow i completely missed that spot at the bottom of the pic. For some reason my DIY lighbox makes a gray band at the bottom of my pics that i have to clone out.

I don't think noise was the problem; it was probably the gunk at the bottom of the frame and they just checked off the noise box for the rejection.

ok thanks after fixing that should this image pass in your opinion

Why does the shadow from the grip look funky?

Assuming that you have the correct file size, once you fix the background I don't see any reason why this wouldn't pass QC.
