No.

Hi,
Could I please have some feedback on the following shots? 1920px so sharpness is probably the main concern.
Thanks,
Taylor

Not bad, but color is a bit off (orange tint) and heat haze visible on the two more distant shots (1, 3).

Good to know, thanks!

Hi,
Would appreciate some advice on this shot, I feel like there's not enough blacks but when I drop the blacks or shadows sliders enough to add a "normal" amount on the histogram, the blacks look way too dark. Is it OK as is or does it need some more tuning?
Also for the contrail shot I keep getting a huge ring of darkness around the aircraft and a spot of brightness directly around the plane when I look at the "check for dust" filter, is that normal?
Thanks,
Taylor

1. soft, contrast
2. soft, contrast, too far, vignetting

Neither image has the quality necessary for 1920pix.

Hi,
Is the lighting in the following shots good enough to pass the exposure and contrast requirements?
Thanks,

2-4 might be workable.

Hi,
Decided to edit some in-air shots from RIAT, but given the conditions, the jets were often backdropped by very bright cloud. Wondering if the contrast / exposure / sharpness are ok.
Cheers,
Taylor

Last one might be workable. Others would be very challenging.

Hi,
How stringent are the rules on cutting off the nose spike like in the following example? Leaving it fully in fame gives the shot an 'off centre' effect as there's a much larger gap on the left side of the image.
Thanks,
Taylor

I'm pretty sure you are going to get a cut-off rejection - if I remember right, a few years ago I had a similar situation and it was rejected.

This would be rejected.

Hi,
How do I find the categories and fill in registration etc. for a hot air balloon? Also is the shot acceptable?
Thanks,
Taylor
