Knight Hammer-Prescreening/Editing Advice

[Knight Hammer]

Greetings! I'd like a prescreening for these night shots. I'm still new to processing such photos and would like advice for improvements. Thanks!

Borderline quality (sharpness/noise) for 1920pix. You might want to try a lower resolution.

Light borderline; best if you can avoid bright sources behind the aircraft, and get as much of the aircraft lit rather than in shadow as possible.

Thanks! I forgot to change the crop settings for this one and will adjust as necessary. For lighting condition... that's all this spot could offer for now; I'll try a different one next time.

Greetings! Would like a quick inquiry about the following questions:
For this photo:
1) Is this an acceptable crop?
2) Does the addition of the United States emblem counts as hot? (there used to be no emblem on the right side: https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9921048)
3) Do I need to select "helicopter" and "cargo" when I upload a photo of an MV-22 Osprey?

Yes.

Small enough change that it would at the screener's discretion.

3) Do I need to select "helicopter" and "cargo" when I upload a photo of an MV-22 Osprey?

No.

Thanks! Would like a prescreening for this one. Unsure if it's sufficiently sharp under 1280px.

Bit of heat haze visible, but would be acceptable for me.

Good day! Would like a prescreening for these ones. Unsure about the sharpness for 1 and 2 and cluttering for 3.

1. dirty, borderline oversharpened
2. soft/blurry
3. ok for me

Would like an inquiry about this rejection:

The photo does not seem to be overexposed based on the histogram. Contrast also seems fine to me as the histogram spans the entire length.

The contrast base on the histogram it didn't span the entire bar, on the left there is little none

Further increasing contrast (even by a lot) doesn't yield much difference on the histogram. Let's wait for a screener to explain.

Would like a prescreening for the horizon leveling for these ones: which background object should I use for vertical alignment? Or should I have leveled with horizontal references (fences or runway)?

Verticals in the background should be used. Last one might need a little CCW, but otherwise don't see any major issues with horizon on these.
