Backlit and noisy. Better to move on to a different image.

And advice on this one, too. Thanks!

Quite noisy, and editing halos visible.

What about this version of the F22 photo? I tried to correct both of the problems identified in the response. Thanks!

Would be rejected for overprocessed (editing halos) and dirty.

Thanks--I confess, I often have a hard time detecting the halos; any tips for me to get better on that?

Don't use shadow/highlight, clarity, vibrance, D-lighting, etc.. when editing. They are an effect completely caused by processing, so are entirely avoidable.

Looking for input on these three--thanks!

Looking for input on these three--thanks!

1. overexposed, noise, overprocessed
2. centering (too low)
3. vignetting, overprocessed, dirty, borderline centering

Hello--looking for input on these three. I've tried to change my processing procedure and follow the suggestions of not using the various sliders that would add halos, noise, etc. I very much appreciate your time on these requests.

1. borderline noise/contrast
2. overprocessed, noisy
3. overprocessed, soft/blurry, noisy

Would appreciate some advice on this shot and the evident halo that came from the camera, not from processing. Thanks!

this looks like an awesome image, I would assume with some tweaks you can get it accepted. Feel free to share the RAW with me and I can try to do a very minor edit on it based on what i think is accepted.

This was rejected for vignetting but I confess I'm struggling with seeing it (as I almost always do with vignetting); advice is welcome.
