Pre-screening Advice for LewisW295 Please

Regarding 3, the shot is aimed at being a nose shot. Should I be cropping out the wing root?

Very poor angle for a close crop. Don't think changing the crop will help any.

Also, the contrast comment. The sun was behind me, not the aircraft on the day so I'm not sure if I've got too much contrast or not on this one. Could you explain further if you get a minute?

Contrast is a bit too strong. Sun's position is irrelevant.

Also, is there a sticky regarding compression rejections? I seem to be struggling with those a fair bit.

Not aware of any specific sticky, but the Upload Guidelines has a paragraph:

6.2 Compression

1. soft/blurry, compression, quality
2. compression, heat haze, centering
3. compression, contrast, centering, cut off, soft

Hi all,

Unfortunately looks a bit blurry, as well as noisy and pretty noticeable purple fringing. Don't think it's fixable.

Bearing that in mind, would the one with the clouds suffer from the same issue? For me, noticeably less purple fringing but not entirely sure it's that much sharper.

Well, assuming that the cloudy one will get an inevitable contrast flag, let's go with the blue sky image.

Ok, which one would you like feedback on then?

I'm aware that both won't be able to be uploaded but I would prefer to know which is the better of the two images and feedback as if I'm only uploading one of them please

Same aircraft? Then similar.

Acceptable for me, just be aware that is my opinion only, and likewise about the cropped rotors. Ok for me, but can't guarantee the same for everyone.

I understand. It's something I'll mention in the notes to the screener when I do submit it thank you

I've made a slight change to the lighting now. Would this be a better image? Apologies for the bombardment of questions. I'm still getting to know my editor and camera.

Can I please have some pre-screening Advice for this picture?

I'm aware that the props are cut off, this is intentional however as I wanted the focus to be on the fuselage area itself. The details of the engines were kept however.

A bit dark.
