Borderline, and also for overexposed.

Is the face too recognizable ? The cap covers a part of his face and i believe he's part of the demo team of the gyrocopter as well.

Would be a motive rejection, yes.

Hello,

Need some help with the horizon here. It looks straight to me. I used the white pole behind the aircraft as reference.

Deceiving, but slight CCW might help.

is there too much heat haze in these photos to be acceptable ?

The third pic was a rare scenario in Moorabbin where the 2 cirrus aircraft lined up on the same runway and took off together. Can i queue it as airport (ramp/runway/spotting location) if too much heat haze?

1-2. don't see heat haze being an issue
3. you can try it as runway, but there's a lot of empty space so no guarantees

Is the crop acceptable? Also this aircraft has no pic from outside ( https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/keyword/vh-umb ) so will it be a hot photo or regular queue ? Livery seems to have changed a bit when compared to this shot

Crop is fine. Not hot. The second link you provide is from Airliners; this is Jetphotos, a different website.

No. Badly oversharpened and overprocessed.

got rejected for oversharpen several times. Quite unusual as i usually get rejections for under. Reduced sharpening quite a bit for this one from 80 to 20 https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=10436707 . I honestly think it's alright. The attached photo is with no sharpness added for reference. Which one seems acceptable ? thanks in advance.

Attached photo is somewhat better.
