Probably yes, the problem is that the aircrafts are not well lit

Nope, does not meet the requirements for photos of Spotting Locations.

Evening,

I had this photo rejected for horizon unlevel, as it was my first wing view shot (I think) I wasn't sure which datum to use for the horizon, especially when the aircraft was banking. What would the screener had judged this by? https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=8538209

Cheers

Judged by the fact that all the buildings are leaning to the right.

I had this photo rejected and subsequent appeal the screener said "weather may be the culprit for the lack of contrast but not a reason to accept the photo" - my question is whether this photo is editable to a suitable quality for acceptance and what would you amend ? https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=8570076

Surely the historic occasion of the photo and aircraft should trump the small reason to not accept it, especially if its not a million miles away to what a more acceptable photo would be in the perfect weather conditions. As I feel the histogram indicates a suitable level of contrast, what else can be done?

Image has already been appealed, and comments left.

I've asked for editing advice, rather than an appeal.

The contrast doesn't seem suitable for the DB, not mentioning the fact that it is also soft. Probably one for the personal collection.

I realize that, but as stated here:

https://forums.jetphotos.com/forum/aviation-photography-videography-forums/digital-photo-processing-forum/63048-suggestions-when-asking-for-editing-advice-prescreening-from-crew

we ask that you ask for advice before appealing. Otherwise we then need to spend twice as much time dealing with the image. If you had asked for help before, I could have told you the image is not fixable and not worth appealing, but now I need to take the time to do so, and the person who dealt with your appeal had to spend that time too. If you're so certain that you are correct that you want to appeal before asking for advice, great, do it. But don't then expect to come back to the forum to ask for the advice you decided you didn't need if/when your appeal is rejected.
