Editing/Pre-screening advice

[timmytam]

Hello, I've decided to give close up shots a go so I'm not sure if this sort of cropping and editing would be accepted? Would be great to have some advice.

Hi

I am not part of the screening crew, however, I would say that the crop is acceptable, maybe have the whole of the vertical stabilizer in the image. The downside of this photo is that it does seem distant and the fuselage is rather blurry, not in focus or sharp.

Hope this helps!

I would agree with cmorton. Crop seems ok, but it will not get accepted because of the softness/blurriness. Something that’s sadly not fixeable with Lightroom in your case.

Regards!

I would crop it a bit tighter, or wide enough that the whole tail/stabilizer are visible.

Hi, I'm wondering if a crop like this would be acceptable? The winglet is unfortunately obstructed by the horizontal stabiliser of another plane so I've had to cut it away.

Not a screener, but I definitely think I've seen plenty of crops like this.

Not going to comment on any other qualities, but it's a cool looking photo.

Crop should be ok.

Hi, can I get some opinion on this shot? Also, would the stairs count as an obstruction? I had my tripod as high up as possible but it still wasn't enough to clear it completely.

Borderline soft. Yes obstruction.

Hi, can I get some opinion on this shot? Would this crop count as 'part of aircraft cut-off'?

Most likely, yes.

Hi, this shot was rejected for bad motive, which I'm guessing is because of visible faces? If so, would it be acceptable for me to reupload the shot with their faces blurred or would I have to choose to upload another shot where no faces can be seen?

Blurring faces is considered manipulation, so you shoud reupload a shot with no faces vissible.

Another shot without visible faces.

Hi, would this shot be rejected for being backlit or would the fact that it's banking give it some leeway?
