Hello all,

I am still relatively new to Jetphotos and I would like to know if these photos stand a chance to be accepted. If not, any suggestions on how I can improve them? Many thanks in advance.

Poor light (contrast/color) on the first, editing not likely to help much. Second has strong halos around the aircraft, and would need a cleaner edit to be acceptable.

Thanks! But how would I get rid of the halos around the aircraft? Lightroom? Photoshop?

You don't get rid of them. You avoid them in the first place.

Thanks for your help!

No, would be rejected for color, contrast, compression, overprocessed.

[hkgaviationspotting]

Thanks though!

Doubtable. Softness, contrast and colour could be rejection reasons.

Made some changes, added some sharpening and contrast. Would this make the cut?

No, would be rejected for color, contrast, overprocessed, and possibly backlit. This image is not fixable.

ok thanks!

Poor contrast as it is nearly backlit. Not sure that this can be 'fixed'.
