Hi Dana, these two just got rejected for contrast, noise on the 787 as well. However these issues didn’t seem to show up in prescreening. Is it because they are just borderline, and do they have a chance of being successfully appealed? From my experience some of my accepted photos had similar contrast levels, although I’m not saying that this means the rejected photos definitely should’ve been accepted. I’m just curious if the contrast and noise are borderline issues, so I can appeal wisely without crowding the queue with unnecessary appeals while familiarizing myself with what acceptable contrast would be like. (Although in hindsight, the 777 does seem a bit lacking in contrast, for the 787 though I’m still a little bit skeptical.) Many thanks!

When was the SQ prescreened? It's definitely noisy, and as I said before your images don't really have the quality for 1920pix. Don't necessarily agree, but I can see contrast as borderline for the CZ.
Maybe some noise removal would help but it does affect photo detail, right?
Another thing, that is I’ve found that photos with perfect blue skies don’t seem to need any contrast adjustment, but dull grey skies are frequent causes for contrast problems. How does one read from the histogram to determine whether contrast is ok? (I know there’s a post regarding that topic but it mainly had to do with ground-based images, aerial shots are somewhat a bit different with a huge spike in the histogram representing sky color. In these cases, how is the histogram read?)
Sorry for the long post and many thanks for your time!

Sorry, I must’ve confused the SQ with another photo that I got prescreening for…… my bad.

And for these three previously prescreened un-contrasty photos, would these work now? (been working with these for ages...... so hard to get it right)

And for the latter three, is the weather simply not fit for uploading, and if not, do I need to apply more or less sharpening? Thanks again!

May these be prescreened? (Especially the SQ and VN, they're foreign airlines and I really want to expand my airline collection)

And quality aside, how is the contrast for these photos?
