Semjons Fiskiss - prescreening request / editing advice

[SemjonsF]

Still don't really understand to be honest.
Hopefully then this one is fine enough

It sadly got rejected for too much/too little contrast. Should I try appealing and if so, how should I explain it? Can you give some advice so that I could be 100% sure I won't have any problems with contrast in the future?

And I still need advice on dust spots with Wizz Air above

Thanks!

This image is very soft and noisy. No chance of being accepted.

Completely understandable

On this photo there are 3 dust spots and I need advice on how to remove them. Currently if I try removing them, places where they were are still visible on check for dust

And what about this one? Is it fine that left part is kind of lighter than the right part? I suppose it could be because exhaust but don't know for sure.

Hi! Will this be considered as overedited?

Either that or vignetting. Also dark/dirty.

Would be acceptable for me.

Okay, thanks a lot!

There are editing artifacts visible in the sky. Helicopter centering looks fine.

Didn't know that! So really good that I asked But from all of that only Lufthansa is good? Also I just don't fully understand the meaning of bad processing, how does it express and how can I identify it myself? And once again how does one center a helicopter correctly?

Removing anything from the photo will get you a warning on your account the first time, and a ban on the second. Don't do it.

Other images have issues with softness and bad processing.

Thanks a lot! Fixed up and submitted 1245 but I'd like to ask again for 3, is it okay now?
And now the new stuff:
• Lufthansa - should I remove the fence in Photoshop? Doesn't matter/preferably yes/definitely yes/definitely no? I know you can't photoshop plane parts but what about clearing up skies?
• Norwegian - Original photo had fence a little bit in the way, making left darker, so I tried balancing it out, is it fine like that? (adding check for dust thingy on next reply as well, really loving that you no more have to submit a photo to use those tools) Spent more than hour to get this variant. After gradient didn't work out, had to draw the mask by hand
• SunExpress - I just hope it's fine
• US Army - First time trying posting a heli, should centering reference point be lowest fuselage to highest fuselage or to highest point those propeller base things stick out? Also will "unintentinal vignetting" be a problem there? It kinda is there but kinda isn't, just depends on the corner you're looking at

Thanks a lot for the help once again
