How frustrating this is!!! Im struggeling with this picture upoad where everytime the visa website says it's not free of lines

We detected that your photograph might fail to meet the guidelines.

Our suggestion(s):

* Background should be plain. No spots, lines or curves visible in the photo.

I went to a foto studio to get this pictures done.

Anyone tips? Dealing with this for 30 minutes now

They sought advice from the community after spending time trying to resolve the issue. Comments suggest attempting to submit the photo regardless of the error or trying a different approach, such as taking a selfie with a simple hairstyle.
