thebigdog360 - Prescreening Advice

1. maybe a touch CCW needed, but not much. Borderline on the clutter.

Just to avoid any chance of rejection for the clutter, here is a shot from lower without the wing in the way. How is this pre-screening wise?

I think the latter one is deffinitely leaning right.
In case you have lightroom, you can use the profile corrections in order to fix the distorsion caused by lens.

Thanks for the tip on the lens corrections, did not know what they did before so never bothered touching them.

Pre-screening for these two:
For the first I'm curious if the grey foreground wing is too distracting, and also I am not sure if it is too soft or not. For the second, I do not have much confidence because it was so close to the fence so only a part of the airplane could fit in, also horizon is a real challenge since the focal length was very wide. Thoughts? Thanks.

2. cut off

I found another angle that I did not see at first, I think this is better for contrast but still would like to see if it is passable. Also, should I include the tow bar attached to the nose wheel or no? Also any pre screening advice would be great.

Contrast borderline. Centering ok.

Ah, ok. I misunderstood, thanks for the clarification.

For the first photo, would cropping out the tail and centering the fuselage in the middle of the screen be better? Or still up to screeners discretion like the current crop?

Better not to cut the tail. L-R centering is off, aircraft is a bit to the right of center.

Pre-screening for these photos:
Multiple of these are kind of heavy crops in the frame, due to taking a zoomed out picture to get around the chain link fence. There are also some of these where the fuselage is on the bottom of the frame, and the tail stretching to the top. This was the only way I could get the aircraft in frame, unless it is acceptable to cut off the tail? But I wasn't sure on this, your opinion would be appreciated. Again, other pre-screening comments welcome. Thanks.

1. borderline centering
2. contrast, borderline cut off
3. borderline overexposed
4. borderline soft
5. ok for me

Did not catch that dust spot, here it should be gone and with a tad more sharp.

Still borderline, but ok for me.

Pre-screening please! I don't know if this would be too high in frame, it is centred based off of the main fuselage with the tail section ignored, which is usually what I would do. Just unsure because of the forward tilt. Also any other problems, thanks.

Dirty, borderline soft. Centering ok.
