Hello,
I'm new to jetphotos, and have just started trying to figure out this editing thing. I'll start by looking for advice on these 2. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Both photos lack contrast due to bad light conditions. The first one is taken with an overcast sky, the second in addition also backlit. The first can be improved, but it will be hard tomget an acceptable photo, the second is one for the bin.

So, first lesson: choose your spotting days, locations and time of the day wisely. A good original photo can be made very good, a bad photo can maybe made "less bad".
