Identifiable face check. Are glasses enough to obscure?

Also the Hughes heli, I feel like it's either too dark or contrasty. Pre-screen please

No problem.

Do this one look okay? Crop seems kinda odd but it's a hot photo

Crop is ok for me.

There's a dust spot behind a lamp in the background of this one that I can't remove without removing the lamp which I assume could lead to a manipulation rejection. I don't really see the spot without equalization. I was planning on discarding the photo but wanted to double check on that manipulation rejection possibility first.

Removing objects like light posts is considered manipulation.

Could be either actually, but I would go with N910NK. Usually only ramp if less than 50% of the frame is taken up by a single aircraft. Seems nearly/partly obstructed by small flag?

Maybe obstructed by a pixel or two . I have a similar photo with a flag definitely obstructing the engine a tiny bit. https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/11144686

I'd probably take my chances assuming everything else is okay.

Would this be uploaded at N910NK or a ramp view? Also, does it look okay?

Stupidly shot this at f4. Does it look okay? I think it focused more on the tail area so I can't tell if the nose is sharp/in focus enough.

Seems ok to me.

Whole tail is pretty soft. May or may not be from heat haze, can't really tell. You can post a full 100%-crop of that area if you'd like confirmation.

Ah, it's all good. I can see that the tail is soft now. I doubt it's heat haze, but it doesn't look quite right to me.

I'm not seeing the heat distortion anywhere here. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks. The Sling was so shiny and the exposure just felt odd 😀
