Hi, Good day.
I found two photos taken in unfavourable light conditions. I'm wondering is the post-processing is acceptable? Thanks Ahead!

Hi, Good day.
I haven't take this angle before, so I'm wondering whether this kind of cropping is okay? Of course, any other suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks ahead!

Cropping works for me on both, though I know some wouldn't like how the tail is cut on the second. Don't see any other issues that would bother me.

Needs a little CW rotation. All verticals leaning a little left.

Got It! Thanks

Hi Guys！ Good day.
This is my latest rejected photo due to Horizontal Unlevel. However, my friends and I checked it carefully with the background, and those buildings are vertical. The aircraft is leaning up because it just touched down. Should I level the plane? Or which parts of the photo should be used as a reference of horizon? Thanks!

Hi, tremendously fortunate that I encountered an Y-20A! And this image is interesting since its engines blew some sand into the sky. Does it be considered as foreground clutter? Meanwhile, the engines also caused heat distortion, is that acceptable? Of course, any other suggestions are welcomed! Thanks ahead!

Jet wash itself is usually not an issue, but if it's blocking the majority of the aircraft (as it is here), the chances of being accepted are much lower.

Hi, Good day!
My photo was rejected due to horizon, and I use the runway indicator (13-31 in the background) to level this photo. So now I'm wondering which thing should I use as a reference of horizon? Thanks ahead!

Verticals are leaning right. Needs CCW rotation.

Hi, Good day!
I was rejected because of cropping again. https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=9867868
I think probably because of I cropped the horizontal stabilizer, and now I re-edit it again, could anyone check it please?
Great appreciation ahead~

Better, but still a bit awkward crop/centering overall, imho. Should have a chance at acceptance.

Hi Thanks for answering.
Just as you guessed, since there's a light pole near APU, the whole aircraft is not available.
And I crop two versions, with the first one containing engine, and the second one left it out. Which one should I choose?
Thanks again!

Second.

Much tighter, or leave the whole aircraft in (not an option I'm guessing).
