Good to know, thanks. I re-processed from the original, w/o the the filter. Does this version look better (acceptable for upload)?

Tail somewhat soft, but would be acceptable for me.

Can I get editing advice on this photo please. Taken through glass, so can't quite seem to get the colors right without getting it 'over-processed'. Anything can be done to get it to an acceptable standard?

Green tint would need to be removed. Contrast is borderline.

Thanks. How's this?

Color better, but likely a dark/contrast rejection.

Thanks. Ok, last attempt with this photo - I added a bit of brightness. Does it look better or should I give up on this one?

Borderline. May still be rejected for contrast/color, but maybe not.

Thanks, appreciate the insights. It helps me look at post-processing with a different eye. Contrast is something that is still tricky for me to gauge, though.
Can I get an opinion on the below set please. All were taken in overcast conditions and I am particularly concerned with contrast/brightness. Thanks.

2. contrast, blurry
3-5. contrast

Would be rejected for dark/contrast and centering.

How are these for contrast? I'm guessing 1 is not great - do you think it can be improved?

No.

Second would be rejected for contrast, horizon, and maybe compression.

[Jag_guar]

Is this better?

[Jag_guar]

Also, tweaked this one a bit; how does it look re: noise/contrast?
