Thanks for the feedback and Happy New Year! Just one question, though. When screening photos, do screeners just use what they can see on the photo itself to determine if it is passable? Or do you use and have access to tools such as the check for dust feature? I know the feedback here is just your viewpoint and isn't a guarantee that the photo will make it into the d/b, but on some occasions when I have gone to upload and used the check for dust tool, I have found some halos or some (faint) dust spots that you had never mentioned. Would these be taken into account if you did have these tools, or since they aren't visible in the regular image, you would still accept to photo? I hope my question makes sense, and I hope this is ok to ask (:

Hello!
They both look soft and have a couple of dust spots.

Thanks for the info.
A family member of mine took a trip to Kenya recently, and was able to get some pictures at an airstrip there. The quality is poorer than from the camera I use, but would like to see if they are JP worthy due to the relative rarity of shots like these for me. Horizon is difficult, as there are no buildings so I tried my best to follow the ground. Second photo would be in the control tower category. Thanks in advance.
2. soft/heat haze, compression
Your family member will need to upload the images as you may only upload images taken by yourself.

Originally posted by thebigdog360 View PostI still can't wrap my head around the horizon on the dash, this should be fixed now(?)
As for the others, I just can't seem to get these in-motion shots in a good sharp focus. I am holding the camera as steady as possible, could it have to do with a cheaper lens or just simply lack of experience? I have tried to sharpen these up, and tried to fix the delta but is difficult to brighten and add contrast. I appreciate the feedback!
2. borderline soft
3. ok for me
4. borderline dark/contrast
5. soft, noisy, color (purple fringing more noticeable)

Originally posted by thebigdog360 View PostI had aligned the picture with the hangar, but maybe was too close to edge of the frame. I added a bit of CW rotation, is this better? Also, can I get a prescreening review for these landing shots? I hope the Delta won't be backlit, the sun was pretty much directly on the nose but was slightly more on the side I was on. Thanks.
