AMGEnthusiast63 - prescreening request / editing advice

[AMGEnthusiast63]

Hi, I'd like prescreening for these, they were taken close to 1700 hours in January, and the lighting conditions are rather new to me. Especially the JAL, the airframe seems to blend into the sky somehow. Thanks for your help!

Sorry, I just realized that I had uploaded more than 5 photos in a 24 hour period…my bad
Can I get them prescreened now, they’re still the same photos. Thanks!

[Alex - Spot-This !]

Yes I would keep the JAL for the personnel collection. KLM has also a borderline contrast but it's still better due to the blue colour creating some contrast.

Regards
Alex

Thanks Alex. If I were to add some contrast to the KLM and upload it, would it be a night shot? Thanks.

Hi guys, I added some contrast for the KLM, are there any issues with it? And would this fall into "night shot" category? Thanks.
BTW here are some other edited photos taken under various conditions, I'd love to have these prescreened, thanks!

1. contrast, noisy
2. ok for me
3. soft, noisy, borderline contrast
4. ok for me
5. overprocessed

Applied extra sharpening, contrast & NR for these, I'd like these prescreened, thanks!

1. contrast, borderline soft
2. dark/contrast, blurry
3. ok for me

Thanks, I guess the AC is hard to save. Would downsizing it to 1280px help solve the blurry issue?
For the loongair, what kind of effect should I be aiming for? I've added tons but the constrast still seems hard to get right. Maybe a demostration would help. Thanks so much!

Possibly

Lower your expectations when shooting in overcast conditions.

Hi, I downsized the AC to 1280px, and tried two different editing methods, which of these would be acceptable?
Also for the Loong it was actually shot on a clear day, maybe the air quality was an issue. Is it better now?
And also edited the KLM above, would the contrast be enough? Thanks.

All borderline for contrast; latter two don't really have the quality for that resolution.

Ok, I guess I'll dowsize them all to 1280px......
Would these be acceptable now?

All three likely contrast/dark rejections; second for soft as well.
