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 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!

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

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.

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. Could you please check out is there any obstacle/foreground clutter, or crop problem in those 2 photos? Appreciate it!

Not screener, I think the second photo may reject by cut

Poor crop on first, and obstruction on second.

Contrast, exposure, color, and softness are not ok.
