Sharpening is better, but they have a slight plastic like look, as if you tried to reduce noise too much.

I accidentally reduced noise slightly when sharpening, I went back and redid that without the noise reduction - these should be better hopefully

Thank you for your feedback, I've reduced the noise and sharpened the aircraft a little more - are these any better?

Yep, just learned that at 300mm, this lens is quite prone to chromatic aberration and not being too sharp, so I've tried to shoot not wide open (f/8 - 9), as well as at the fastest shutter speed - 1/4000 to try increase sharpness and decrease CA. Not too sure it worked, but would appreciate a screen on these.

Soft, and somewhat noisy/overprocessed.

Do you know how to reduce/remove the purple fringing? I've noticed this a lot in most of my photos and I've managed to get rid of most of it in Photoshop, but still appears.

Simple (least palatable) answer: get a better lens. More nuanced, practical answer: realize the limitations of the lens you have and which situations will cause it more, and avoid such situations as much as possible. Then, yes, use software to get rid of whatever PF/CA does occur.

Would be rejected for soft/blurry, color (visible purple fringing), and overprocessed (editing halos).

Would also really appreciate a screen on these - also, assuming there are issues here, do you think they could be fixed?

Would also appreciate feedback on these two -

Images are soft/blurry and overprocessed. No chance I'm afraid.

they may be better off bined

Indeed.

No advice other than pick better times/conditions if you hope to have images accepted.

[sharksfan166269]

Would appreciate any advice on these two pictures. I'll admit this was probably not the best lighting situation so they may be better off bined, but again, any advice is appreciated

Dark, soft, contrast, backlit, colour. I wouldn’t waste my time trying to fix it.

Thanks for your response, appreciate it a lot

I just have one last image I'd appreciate some editing advice on for the time being, especially the centering, I think, or more, I hope, this is better centered as I've tried to balance keeping the entire plane in the center, as well as trying to keep the fuselage in center. Thanks in advance
