Steve Rinde - Advice & Pre-screening

[dlowwa]

Pre-screen advice needed. Listed are potential rejection reasons I am wondering about:

1) contrast
2) sharpness

Any other potential issues?

Thanks!

Yes soft. Bit of an awkward crop as well - you've cut the wings, but it isn't really a tight crop. Aircraft overall is quite dark, so yes dark/contrast is likely to be a rejection reason as well.

Thanks for the input. Switched to a different shot that is sharper and better crop potential.

Are the contrast and soft issues fixed? Any other potential issues?

This one will definitely have a better chance than the previous, though there isn't really any direct light on the aircraft, so dark/contrast remains a likely issue.

1) crop (will this be considered cutoff, or acceptable?)
2) contrast

Yes, both of those are very likely to be issues. A bit soft as well.

Hoping for some advice. Rejected for "over processed / bad postprocessing" without comment. Any insight/pin-pointing the specific issue(s) would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Editing halos visible around aircraft.

Thanks, Dana, for you response on a previous shot of this. Here is a different crop and photo

Potential issues:
1) Contrast
2) Centering (I've centered it vertically on the bottom of the nose gear and top of the apu)
3) Soft (a specific area of concern is below the flight deck on the far side where there is light shining off from behind. Is this specific area an issue?)

Thanks again!

Centering is fine, but definite issues with softness/blurriness and color, with the former being the bigger problem.

Editing halos also visible. Not much chance at acceptance.

Thanks for the input. Trying a different shot of the same aircraft; thoughts on this one?

Potential issues:
1) Crop: will it be considered cut off? I left out the port wing tip to focus more on the fuselage.
2) Soft
3) Contrast

Crop acceptable for me (but others may disagree); yes soft, and contrast borderline.

Advice needed:

Biggest question with this shot is the sun-glint off the chrome front of the vertical stabilizer. Will this be called "blurry" even though the picture isn't blurry, or is it acceptable?

Any other issues that may need addressing?

Thanks in advance!

Maybe a bit soft, but not blurry. Don't see any other major issues.
