Pre-Screen / Editing Advice for LuftSpotter

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

Sharpening artefacts visible on the livery lines of the aircraft.

Sharpening artefacts visible on the livery lines of the aircraft.

Thank you chief. I'll do my best to figure out the sharpening artefacts on the livery lines

Just wondering.. would JP accept this kind of cropping?

No, the tiny bit of smoke does not justify the wide crop.

Very well explained. Thank you chief

Howdy,

Can someone please take a look at my rejection?

1) Too much or too little contrast. Assuming it's my another "Too little contrast". I can adjust the point curve in Lightroom later.
2) Horizon unlevel. Any idea which direction should i rotate or level?

Thanks in advance

Nearly overexposed, but contrast looks ok to me. Needs CCW rotation.

Totally make sense. Thank you chief
Will reduce the white(or exposure) and do some CCW rotation later.

Howdy all

Can someone help with my rejected photo please?

Dark / Underexposed: Is the biplane, night drone or the whole photo need to be brighter a little?
Undersharpened (Soft): Guess i can reduce the resolution and sharpen a tiny bit. Well, the sharpness of this picture doesn't look too bad, does it?
Cropping / Photo edges / Size Ratio: Guess need to crop out more spaces on both sides. I did with 4:3 aspect ratio. Can i crop with 3:4 ratio?or just crop out more with 4:3?

Screener's Comments: thin bright line on edges of the photo
Screener was so nice to leave comments Does those thin bright line means around the night drones? Guess it was from the drones. This happened to my accepted fireworks photo as well.

Thanks in advance

I don't really see any issue with bright lines, but if there are, likely an editing problem. Whole image is rather dark.

Sounds good Chief. As long as it's not the bright line issue, i'd be happy to give it another try
Thanks again

Howdy everyone,

Just wondering, is this picture obstructed by our guidelines? Probably too much snow in the bottom part of the jet.

Thanks in advance

A bit too much snow, yes.

Hello again,

Would you be so kind to take a look at my 2nd rejection of this A380?
https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=10777336

• Over Processed / Bad postprocessing : Halos around the top front?
• Too much or too little contrast : Still too little contrast? Can it be fixed by adding more contrast or adjusting the tone curve?
