Over Processed / Bad postprocessing

https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=7864925

Screener told me it's halos.
Can someone tell me where please? Excuse my aging eyes

[MarkLawrence]

Equalize shows them pretty much all over the plane unfortunately.

[LuftSpotter]

Thank you Mark.
Original jpg also shows lots of halos around the plane. I did remove it.
Guess i can give up on this one.

Hi folks,

Need some help to adjust the horizon level:

https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=8561524

The seaplane just landed on the waterway.

If I use the big pole in the back(red arrow) as the vertical guide line, the whole image doesn't seem right. Guess the big pole is not 90 degree vertical.
If I use the fence line on the right(green arrows) as the reference, the image looks more like it. But this fence part gotta be cropped out anyway.

Well..? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Your best choice ever on such a photo is the water. No pole nor fence rods.
Water surface is always horizontally leveled, by nature.
This picture need a bit of clock-wise correction.
Have a nice new day,
Ike

"Using water surface as horizontal level" is a brilliant idea.
Will add a bit of clockwise correction as you suggested.
Thanks a bunch. You rock

Hi folks,

Please have look at my recent rejection photo. It's a little embarrassing to get 3 rejected reasons

https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=8679719

No problem with all 3 reasons. Just wanna know how to fix?

• Too much or too little contrast : Is it fixable if I throw in more contrast or a little more of something stronger?
• Horizon unlevel: Guess it needs a tiny bit of counterclockwise?
• Categories wrong or missing: Not a clue here. Should i check cargo or ...anything?

Thanks in advance

Not really fixable due to the poor/overcast light.

Horizon unlevel: Guess it needs a tiny bit of counterclockwise?

Yes, buildings leaning right, so CCW needed.

Categories wrong or missing: Not a clue here. Should i check cargo or ...anything?

This is not a Night Shot, as you selected.

Technically similar yes, but you may get some leeway due to the different seasons - couldn't promise though.

Sounds good to me chief. Let's give up on this one. It's not a Junkers 52 anyways
Thank you for your time

Howdy,

Would you like to take a look at my oversharpen rejection :

https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=9838079

All I did is +25 sharpening in Lightroom as in attached image.
May I also ask if it is the aircraft or the snow backdrops or both oversharpening? I'm afraid if i remove the +25 sharpening, i may get the rejection for undersharpen
