As for one little flaw killing a sale... Look at any major magazine and you can find more then one little flaw in almost every image. But the person that made the decision to use it either didn't see it or felt that it was outweighed by the strength of the rest of the image.

While we can always find examples of flawed photos in print, we never know how many photos were rejected because of a flaw. There are many factors in an editorial decision to use or reject a photo. Often there will also be deadline considerations. There may be a limited number of photos to draw from, all with flaws, so you have no choice. But I think we can agree that if we recognize a "fixable" flaw (through post work), we should probably fix it before submitting it. The problem, of course, is that it is easy to overlook minor flaws (we all do it from time to time).
