Is the Second photo unfixable? I am a little confused what to do with a photo that is backlit. What do you recommend I should do with the borderline photos continue to make small adjustments or get them screen and fix if rejected?

I'm not a crew

Backlit images are not acceptable and fixable.
Never bother to upload it.

Thanks, but I am confused with what you are saying, are you saying Backlit images are NOT fixable?

Unless done for effect (silhouette, etc.) backlit images are usually not acceptable. For borderline images you can continue to try to improve them, or simply submit them as-is understanding that the chance of rejection is just as good as the chance of acceptance.

1. dark/contrast
2. centering, contrast, borderline soft
3. horizon
5. dark/contrast

Corrected Horizon on the second Photo, I think the first photo may be dark. I am guessing for the 5th photo I should mark as exclude from FR24 because of weird angle. Other Advice is helpful

Thanks

1. dark/contrast, oversharpened/overprocessed
2. ok for me
3. dark/contrast
4. borderline soft/(harsh) contrast
5. backlit, vignetting, dirty

I am a little confused with the what you said about the 4th photo does it need way more or way less contrast? What is the best way to decide if a photo is possibly acceptable when there is a grey cloud behind it or do you stay away from them, and choose photos with only a mostly blue sky?

Thanks

Harsh contrast means the contrast is too strong. If there is no direct light falling on the subject (aircraft) the chances of the image being accepted fall dramatically. The background has little to do with it.

Okay Thanks, that really helps me understand why many of my photos are marked with contrast. Advice on these three is helpful
