    Lowered the resolution to try to get ride of some of the heat haze (Photo 1). Lightened up the 2(4 and 5) dark photos and centered the photo, is the contrast fine on those two photos. How is the contrast on the two photos of the Blue Angles (2 and 3)? Do you think either of the two Blue Angles resolution could be increased or would the softness not allow it? Is this more of what you are looking for to learn from the prescreening advice instead of just posting without any information? If not what can I do to improve?

    Thanks

    Thanks

    Hi,
    Yes the Cessna is fully backlit. The airport overview looks acceptable to me

    Regards

    Does the first photo count as back light? How is the contrast and do you think it needs to be any lighter? Is the crop and contrast good on the second photo? Does the second photo have any sharpness issues, taken on a drone that I have never tried to upload a photo from. Is it fine that there are clouds shadows on the airport photo?

    Thanks

    Is horizon the only composition issue? Are the runways centered and the airport centered well enough in the photo?

    Contrast and horizon would be issues. It does not qualify for hot.

    Okay, I won't just blankly ask for prescreening advice. I don't just do it aimlessly, I have learned a ton about editing and feel like I have improved a lot. Sorry to now ask you for advice on this photo but I don't have any clue what I am looking to for in a airport overview. I am think the biggest issue with this photo would be the contrast but also curious about the composition of the photo. I expect to have to retake it with better lighting.

    Does a new airport photo qualify for hot even if it is uncontrolled and has few aircraft movements a year?

    Thanks for all the help

    1. borderline soft/contrast
    2. backlit
    3-4. ok for me
    5. backlit

    Also, please be mindful of the request/comments here:

    Prescreening is meant to be used as a tool to check certain images you are unsure about, learn from the feedback you receive, improve, then hopefully not need to ask for help in those areas any more. It is not meant to be a process where you post the maximum number of requests you can, wait the minimum 24 hours, then post the maximum again, and repeat. I see more than a few guys doing this, and it shows me that they are not really making any effort to learn from the process but rather are simply taking advantage of free screening.

    Still borderline dark/contrast for most of these. Some softness issues as well, especially towards the edges of the frame.

    I tried to fix the contrast issues, and the dark/soft issue, and the other 2 are new are there any more changes that need to be made?
