MQ1131 - Prescreening / Editing Advice

[MQ1131]

Yes, you might run into contrast issues, but I think you've done a fairly good job trying to balance the scene. You could try boosting the shadows a bit, but don't go overboard.

Thank you for your sound advice! I will try to improve the shadows a bit.

Hello guys, I recently have a high dynamic shot (mostly cloudy situation and only spot light on the a/c).
I would like to have some feedback on it.My major concern are overexposure and too much contrast.

Thank you for any advice in advance.

I would appeal it. There isn't much you can loose here and the photo has a chance to be accepted on appeal.

Thank you for your valued opinion.

I got this one rejected for Horizon unlevel andJPG compression artefacts.

I checked equalized photo, haven't spot siginificant compression artifiact. They usually have very obvioius mosaic blocks on the sky. I would like to know what could I improve because I always output it at maximum quality(12).
I also pulled a few references line as shown below, not too sure about why this is unlevel. They all looks good. If I have to say there is something could be done better is to cwc about 0.05 degree.

On the other hands, I do reco the heat distortion is borderline.

I would like to have any advice on editing. Thank you in advance.

Question before upload it again,

Any potential horizontal unlevel issue? How to fix this?

Cheers!

I think you missed the point..if you don't agree with a rejection, come here first for advice. Once an appeal has been processed, I will no longer get involved. That is clearly mentioned here, so you might want to give it another read:

Thanks for your suggestions! Just did another read of that post. I did miss that part of words in particular. Well I guess this is the end of this upload. I may have to re-upload it again.

Would you suggest me to add additional comments to a new upload of same photo to avoid screener getting misled by this unparallel building outlines or there is a chance to actually improve it by post processing?
Cheers!

Hi, dlowwa. Thanks for your reply. My appeal was rejected earlier for not presenting enough proofs to back my point. However, I wasn't able to appeal on the same pic twice. Can you have a look on that? Thanks!

Image has already been appealed, not sure what you are expecting by posting here.

I had a possiblely wrong upload rejection and appeal rejection due to a misleading building.

I found out the white building(MLC Centre) next to sydney tower, has a misleading outline may caused the rejection. If you cross compared the left most line of the MLC Centre and right most line, you can see they are not parallel at all. One of them must be not vertical to the ground. When you check my reference line on the nearby building (eg. Sydney Tower), it's easy to tell that the rest of the buildings outline are aligned with my vertical reference lines.

This was really tricky one to spot as your offical tool has a vertical line right on the misleading sides of the building.
Cheers!

Thanks! Now I cropped out part of the vertical stabilizer, is it looking better?

Personally, no. I'm not a fan of any cropping at this angle, but that's just my (subjective) point of view.

[MQ1131]

Subjective, but crop feels a little awkward to me.

I need some help on cropping and composition. In some cases, I cut the winglet then it got rejected for partial cut off, and sometimes I keep the whole wing, it got bad composition.
So as for this photo, am I on the right track of cutting part of the wing? Do I need to cut more wing/vertical stabilizer?
And any potential sharpness issues for this one?
Thank you in advance!
