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
