Bad motive question

[middleken]

Hi All,
I had this HH-60J cabin shot rejected for Bad Motive (also Category, which I know how to fix)
http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject_b.php?id=1328156

I have another similar shot on JP already of another HH-60J

I am unclear what Bad Motive means in this case...I searched the forums and tried to figure it out, but don't know. There were no screeners comments on the email for this particular photo.

I took the shot at a lower angle to capture the special ceiling tile they installed only in this Jayhawk.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Ken

both are marginal imho...the rejected one i screened and voted motive because it didn't focus on anything in particular.

IMO the doorway kills it, as well as being washed out.

what does any cabin shot focus on?

Not knocking this shot, just the first cabin shot I came across and never understood the acceptence of these?

OK, thanks for your reasoning. My intended "focus" was the customized "Cape Cod" ceiling tile as it is unusual to see that. If I had zeroed in on that alone, to me it would not have been acceptable and not show its place in the cabin.

the doorway - seeing the edges of it?

Why not?

I would find it interesting enough to accept it. It is borderline imho, so you should give it a try with categories corrected.

thanks Stefan - when you say borderline, could you please ellaborate for my future reference?
I typically don't submit many cabin-type shots, but tried this one seeing my other one was accepted.

They look fine to me. A pleasant change from the rows of airline seats and IFE displays. The edge of the door simply delineates the picture and focuses the attention.

Why not?

I don't understand shots of the back of heads or seats?

Well, with borderline I meant that the motive is one, that is very dependend on the individual taste of the screener. Cabin shots in general are always difficult to judge, if they are a bit outside the typical airliner cabin shot.

For my personal taste, as I love military planes, it is interesting enough

It is the first shot of the BC cabin of TC-JNE.
