Hey everyone! I'm new to editing and aviation photography itself as a whole, and I have just taken my first few pics that I deem good enough in my eyes. So before waiting 10 days in the queue for feedback, I was wondering what about them would possibly get them rejected. And if any of you guys have any suggestions on how to fix them or any tips to get better pictures in the future, feel free to let me know! Thanks ahead of time!

These images are soft (especially the first which might not be fixable), and have issues with color (yellow) and lack of contrast. The latter two might be fixable if you're starting from high-quality originals.

Thanks for responding so quickly! Would lowering noise reduction/masking and raising the sharpness fix the problem of softness?

I have two more pictures I would like to get an opinion on. I feel like they might still be suffering from the yellow issues or softness though. I don't know if it's just my eyes, my shoddy editing, or if the haze/dust at Phoenix would screw with the color settings at all. And if it helps I'm using Adobe Lightroom to edit. But I've messed with the contrast and sharpness settings and I'd love to hear any feedback. Thanks!

Hi, I just had this photo rejected for “digital manipulation” which confuses me. Because when I was editing the picture, I only tweaked the histogram values and the contrast. I did edit out a tiny dust spot in the sky, but it isn't even noticeable. So I was wondering what I could have possibly done wrong, or if it was a mistake on the screeners part? Thanks!

Yes, most likely due to the poor dust removal in the sky.
