My first experience with editing photos taken inside a hangar, just want to see if these are alright.

Both images are soft.

Both images are soft.

Looking again I can see they could use more sharpening, how about this?

Better, still soft in parts. Low depth of field is the real issue.

Yes, I was mainly putting effort into these due to the hot status of both. Here is even more sharpening, would this be adequate? If not, then is it worth trying anything else with these or just keeping for my own collection? Thanks!

Still soft. More sharpening usually will not fix depth of field issues.

Hello, would like a look at this mainly for horizon, I am having trouble finding it in my eyes, as well as for obstruction caused by either the weed growing in front, the plastic container underneath the airplane, or the wooden pole on the left that is a little close to the horizontal stabilizer. The plant and container seem unavoidable to me, and it was hard to get even farther over to have the pole out of the way. Also any other comments regarding photo editing, thanks!

No obstruction, but needs CW rotation.

Thanks for the clarification on obstruction, how is this for the rotation?

Opinions may differ, but this would be ok for me.

Curious, are there any issues with this photo pertaining to lighting and sharpness? Also, for helicopters, should the rotor be cropped out or included? Or photographers choice? Thanks.

[thebigdog360]

Also prescreening for this would be appreciated. I feel horizon may be a problem?

[dlowwa]

Slight softness on both, and weak contrast on the second. Should be fixable.

Rotors can be cropped or not, but if cropping, better to crop closer to the fuselage.

Thanks for the info or rotors, here is the robinson with more sharpness and the sea king with more sharpness and contrast added. Is this better?

Still a bit soft, especially the first. Contrast shouldn't be an issue.
