Hello again,

Would you be so kind to take a look at my 2nd rejection of this A380?

• 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?

In case you can't view the photo, here you go

I'm certainly no expert on the matter but this seems to have gone too far the other way - too much contrast, as is made evident by the large spike on the blacks end of the histogram. The backdrop looks, and I can only really use the term 'weird', just too much colour to it, same goes for the colours on the tail, they don't look like that in real life.

Thank you Oojiflip for your help I believe you're right about the "too much contrast" part. The first rejection of this photo was definitely "too little contrast". Guess i overdid it for my 2nd tries.
btw, if you see "large spike" on the left end in the histogram, that's probably the black JP bar in the bottom that is causing it. Here's the histogram of the photo(no black bar in the bottom).


Not too bad i guess. or not? But the overall contrast might be a bit too much as you said.

Ah I didn't think about that yeah still a little too much, try boosting the shadows a bit
