(marfi80) - editing advice

Hello everyone,

I kindly ask for a prescreening of the picture below, in particular if it would have an issue with backlit (Sun pretty much directly from the front).

Thanks and best,
marfi80

Borderline backlit, but should be (just) acceptable. Problems with softness/heathaze though.

Hello everyone,

I got the picture below rejected for being Undersharpened (soft).
Could someone please give me some hint, which part(s) of the picture has issues with being soft? I was quite confident with it, otherwise I had not submitted it with 1920 px, but maybe I missed something...

Thank you very much and best,

Not much to say, whole aircraft is just soft.

Ah, that's actually a good hint. Was focusing too much on the aircraft but not on the sky. Will work on it.

Thank you very much, dlowwa.

Hello everyone,

one question about a rejection I received due to JPG compression artefacts: Where exactly in the picture is compression an issue?

Just wondering how to fix it, because it was a raw picture, I used my usual routine and scaled down to 1280 pretty carefully in multiple steps.
Thanks for any help and a nice weekend to everyone.

Sky is quite noisy/compressed - notice the blockiness/patchiness visible there.

Hello everyone,

could I please get a pre-screening on the three pictures below? I'm worried about contrast for all three of them, so your advice is very much apprecieated.

Yes, contrast would be an issue, as well as softness.

Thank you very much, dlowwa.

Very much appreciated.
Then I might give #3 a try and keep the others for my personal records.

Hello everyone,

could I please get a pre-screening on the three pictures below?

FYI:
#1 was initially rejected overprocessed, now re-edited
#2 has the sun directly from the front, so I'm worried about dark/contrast or even backlit
#3 was rejected in a different frame for overprocessed + heat distortion. This is a different frame with different editing.

1. overprocessed, borderline (weak) contrast
2. dark, soft, noise, borderline centering (too low)
3. borderline heat haze/contrast

Hello everyone,

one of my pictures was rejected for being dark/underexposed (https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=7957485)

I did some rework on the picture and kindly ask for a pre-screening whether it would be acceptable now.
Thank you very much for all your efforts.

Best,
marfi80

Looks OK IMO.
