Steve Rinde - Advice & Pre-screening

[dlowwa]

Advice needed on two photos- potential issues listed:

Also, one question on a rejection:

Photo 1) Underexposed (always a concern for me when they are shots very near sunset)
Photo 2) Centering (I put the fuselage lower in the frame due to a combination of angle and plane type), underexposed

Rejected photo - backlit. https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=8830313 The sun is very near dead-on down the rwy and realize on the whole it's more likely to be called backlit than not. I ask because I've had similar accepted (but maybe they shouldn't have been haha) https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/10023257

As always, I really appreciate your time and input!

1. yes, borderline dark. would be ok for me, but I could easily see someone else rejecting it for underexposed
2. also a bit dark, and yes, definitely too low in the frame.

3. visible side & tail completely in shadow, backlit rejection was justified. and yes, accepted one probably should have been rejected as well

Advice needed - potential issues listed:

1) Is the shadow on the fuselage just aft of the flightdeck an issue?
2) dark

Captured 10 mins before sunset. Thanks in advance for your advice!

Maybe a bit blurry towards the nose

Rejected for too much/too little contrast. I'm assuming too little contrast. Can you tell me if it's close or far off from being acceptable? Thanks!

Poor contrast due to lack of direct light/overcast conditions. Likely not fixable.

Advice needed - potential issues listed (two photos):

1) crop (I wanted to include the Minneapolis skyline and MSP tower)
2) soft


1) contrast (I believe I just saw on JP a similar-ish sunset photo)
2) noise


Thanks again for your time and advice.

1. too high in frame, borderline blurry
2. borderline soft/dark

Pre-screen advice needed. This photo seems pretty good to me, however, the sky looks problematic (especially under equalize/check for dust). The sky was deep blue but with some very wispy, soft clouds, making it look as if the sensor was dirty or jpeg compression (but I don't think it was either, especially the former). Sorry for the meandering. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Or, maybe the shot just needs to be trashed. haha

Image/aircraft is a bit soft.

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.

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.

Editing halos also visible. Not much chance at acceptance.

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

1) exposure
2) contrast

Any other potential issues?

Thanks!
