thebigdog360 - Prescreening Advice

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

Ok, I have grabbed a different shot of the first, to my eye it seems to have the tail in sharper focus but the nose may be soft now. Also tweaked the sea king a bit, sorry to dwell on these two but feedback would be great.

As before, soft on the first, borderline soft on the second.

Asking for a prescreen on this one please. There are a few concerns I have, mainly the fact that I was shooting through a fence, so you can see that in all the corners. Is that acceptable? Or could be confused with vignette? Also my shadow on the apron, softness, as well as horizon. I do have some different angles that could remedy the issue, but this is what I feel would be best. Finally, any other input for this one would be great. Thanks in advance!

The fence would definitely be an issue, and there is not really any way to work around it.

Ok that is understandable. Usually I would go over the fence but then the aircraft would be blocked by the scimitar on the other 737. Here is a different angle that doesn't have the fence in it, but I wasn't sure if this type of crop is acceptable on JetPhotos? If it isn't, what elements should be included something like this could be acceptable? Also my other questions from earlier like is softness and horizon ok for this one as well? Thank you!

Crop slightly awkward, but might be acceptable. Soft, and needs a little CW rotation.

I have changed the crop a little bit to fully include the titles, I realize you said the other crop was still acceptable but would this be better? I wasn't sure if landing gear being cut off a little bit could affect it. Also rotated and sharpened more, how is it now?

Don't one crop being significantly better than the other; both would be borderline (at screener's discretion). Newer version still a bit soft and probably needing a touch of CW rotation.

Don't *see one crop being significantly better than the other

Alright, I had some trouble with his horizon for some reason, but I believe that I have found a level that is acceptable. I have also noticed that many of my photos recently have had softness as a major issue, which I don't recall getting as much in the past. I will try to look into this. Here is even more sharpening, though I am worried there could be issues with graininess/oversharpened. Finally, not sure that this is the place to ask, but would this be considered a night shot being taken with the sun so low? Thanks for your help.

This image is very noisy/extremely compressed. There is no chance it would be accepted.

Went snooping around the airport today with some spare time, unfortunately the weather was overcast so not very many useable photos. The first photo was in a spot of sunshine, so just wanted to make sure that this has enough contrast even though sky is overcast. Second photo, I didn't really think there was a chance with and only attempted an edit because the airframe is new to the database. All in all, curious on contrast, softness, and horizon mainly for these two. Thank you!

1. a bit soft, but ok for me
2. bad contrast. not fixable.

I went back for another round with this one just to see if I could get something better. There is no fence, but I am still worried about sharpness as the wind was pushing me around quite a bit. Also curious regarding contrast, as there was a large amount of wildfire smoke the day this photo was taken. I know this is the same stuff I have been asking for all these times, but could I get an opinion on horizon again? When I line up with the hangar, the aircraft looks very tilted, so I tried to find a middle ground. Thanks for all your help.

Quality ok for me, though foreground wing a bit distracting.
