Advice/Confirmation requested by jakerepp

Pre-screening on these, please.

Concerned with the lighting (or lack thereof) on the second one. I've had a couple vignetting/dark rejections lately and I feel like this one has too little direct light on it.

4th was kinda cropped a lot but I liked the shot so hoping it's acceptable. That plane landed hard.

The horizon on 5 looks off even though the flagpole looks correct to me so I definitely want another set of eyes on it.

not screener
Pic3 is little bit dark

That's definitely valid. Having a hard time with the lighting/contrast on that one.

5. horizon, dark

Thanks. I'll toss 1 and 2. Maybe 3 as well, if the attached is not quite good enough.



Also, is there any way to avoid Jpg artifacts? I have a hot photo that's being rejected for compression. I shot it as a raw and a jpg. Uploaded here is what was shot as a jpg.

1. dark/contrast, oversharpened
2. compression, borderline soft
3. compression, soft

Make sure jpegs are saved at max quality.

Yeah, I double checked and it looks like they are, or they should be. Here's my last attempt before I move on from it. It's a new reg, so I was hoping to get it in, but if it isn't in the cards, then I'll quit trying.

A bit soft. Don't see compression as an issue for this one.

Okay, thanks. I think maybe it's from editing in LR and then stamping the dust spots in PS, then going back to LR?

I just cloned out the dust in LR this time.

Edit: It was accepted. Thanks!

Is this blurry? My brain is telling me it's blurry but I'm not certain.

Don't think so.

Running into an issue with some photos upon uploading. I've removed from the queue, but while using Check for Dust, it looks like there is some vignetting going on. I don't think it's actually vignetting since I've cropped down enough from the top right corner, but the top right half of the image is definitely darker than the left half. I just don't know what else to call it.

I don't see any vignetting in this image.

I don't see any vignetting in this image.

I don't really either, but I just didn't like how much lighter it looked in the top left corner, for whatever reason it appears that way.

Haven't uploaded shots in morning light. Assuming these would be marked as night shots?
