Dutenhefner prescreening request / editing advice

[dlowwa]

Hallo! I'm asking for prescreening advice!

Hello, please read here carefully when you get the chance, especially #6:

Images that won't actually be uploaded won't be prescreened.

Hallo!

I'm asking for prescreening advice! Thank you

This one seems to be dark, I guess

And this one, seems to be soft...

[dlowwa]

Hello,

I've got some photos today

Can only comment on images that are ready for upload, so the first one would likely be rejected for soft/contrast.

Both soft, but otherwise ok for me.

Hello!

Here I have some photos for prescreening




And also I want to ask, how can I fix this photo's contrast, if it's possible. Because for me it looks very strange



Thank you!

What would you say now?

Soft, and noise/compression visible in the sky.

I don't have pretty much will to do anything with this photo, I had just to know what's wrong, so I could learn on these mistakes Thanks!

Alright, so is it just case of bad luck with this photo, and I can't anything with it?

Feel free to send me the raw file and I can have a go at the edit. Looks like a great shot so its probably savalgeable! PM me if you want.

Not sure how underexposure would be related to luck, but no, with a better/proper edit, this could very well be acceptable.

Yeah, I have then more specific questions.

Why it was rejected for contrast? Is there something wrong with this histogram? I mean, isn't it balanced? If not, then how could I make it right?


I don't understand why it was rejected for JPG artifacts. Photo was saved with JPG quality at 100 without any size limitations in Lightroom.

And finally, I can't even check what's wrong about category. There was nothing in E-Mail about that.

Looks more like an underexposure problem than contrast to me, though lack of direct light can cause contrast issues (not really here). Sky is blotchy, couldn't say exactly why, but that would be the compression issue. This is a Business Jet.
