Can someone please prescreen these photos? I'm not too sure about the horizon in 2-4. Thank you!

3. soft
4. horizon, borderline color

Hmm... for #4, how should I rotate the photo, and what is wrong with the color specifically? Also, is this revision of AA better?

and what is wrong with the color specifically?

Too yellow/white balance too warm.

Also, is this revision of AA better?

Looks like heat haze was causing the softness. Might not be fixable.

Both would be rejected for color.

[p_t_kin]

Can someone please prescreen these images? Hopefully, I've fixed the issues with color on both of them. Thank you!

(Sorry if I'm too repetitive with the A330. This is the first time I'm dealing with issues with color, and I want to make sure I get it right this time, so later, I can sort these issues out myself.)

Improved, but still color/contrast issues. Was there forrest fire smoke in the air at the time?

I think so. I'm guessing this creates color issues. In that case, these wouldn't be fixable, right?

If it is smoke, that would be pretty difficult to compensate for.

Can someone please prescreen these images? I'm not sure if some of them are considered backlit. Thank you!

They are not backlit.

They are not backlit.

In that case, is there anything on those photos that would get them rejected?

Except for 2, they are all too dark/poorly contrasted. 1 & 3 also borderline heat hazed.

This means that 1, 3, and 4 are unfixable, right? Also, I should mark 2 as a business jet when uploading, right?
