Same here. My photos were taken by a deputy sheriff and were of good quality for what she had to work with.:blink:As I read the responses to this thread, I felt better about the photo on my Florida permit. There must be something wrong with the machine that Florida uses to print their permits, because it seems that everyone's Florida photo is ghastly. Mine included. It is washed-out and looks nothing like me. The photo I submitted was fine. Only after their processing was it distorted.
