CSS: why there is a small gap at the bottom of the image inside an absolute div?

Question

I have a simple absolute div and an image inside it.

I don't know why there is this strange small gap/empty space underneath the image. I used other images in the same div and it seems to be the same!

This is what I have:

.adHolder {
  width:100%;
  /*height: auto;*/
  position:absolute;
  bottom:0;
  left:0;
  /*border-top:solid 1px #fff;*/
  padding:0;
  margin:0;
  z-index:1;
}

.adHolder img {
  width:100%;
  height:100% !important;
  padding:0 !important;
  margin:0 !important;
  border:none;
}

<div class="adHolder">
  <img src="http://t.wallpaperweb.org/wallpaper/nature/3840x1024/9XMedia1280TripleHorizontalMountainsclouds.jpg">
</div>

if you look at the bottom of the image, there is a small line (empty space) which I need to get rid of.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

  position:absolute;
  bottom:0;
  left:0;
  /*border-top:solid 1px #fff;*/
  padding:0;
