New COC pictures taken... ugh... does size matter much???

I took my daughter to Walgreens to get her passport type photo taken for her new CoC. I am not sure if these will work. Her head looks to be about an inch long and I am seeing alot of her coral colored dress. lol lol
Not sure what to do....
ugh

There are specs that need to be followed. This guide (Composition Checklist) should help you determine if the photo will work. If it doesn't go here (http://travel.state.gov/passport/guide/guide_2081.html), print out some docs to help your case, and get Walgreens to refund your money or redo the photo.

BTW, this guide is new (to me, at least). I wish I'd had it. I did my own for the COC, and had to do a lot of retakes until I got it right.

mine had to be redone because the first walgreens made my head too big.

the colors were horrid. i look totally yellow/orange (as do my boys passport photos).

so i guess i would say size DOES matter but not color quality.

I just measured her head length and it is under an inch. Looks like I will be headed back to Walgreens....
Thanks for the tips...
