Hello, I went to spot this airplane once again, this is the best shot I got of it, it’s looking quite good and detailed in higher res, but not so great at 1280 even when the quality is at 100, would this be able to make it in?

Image is soft. You can try posting/sharing the full-res if you want me to check whether that is actually 'looking quite good'.

In Lr, it looks so good when zooming in, I don’t know why exports don’t seem so good…. Here‘s the ‘highest available resolution’ export

Very noisy, but should be sharp enough. Perhaps you're applying some kind of noise reduction and that's causing softness? What ISO was that shot at?

ISO 160

I did another edit, is this any better?

Would still be rejected for soft.

There’s literally no noise reduction in it… why is this happening……

still tried making another edit…. Any good?

Seems better, but this one is heavily compressed, so can't say for sure. As I said before, editing on a mobile device might not be the best option.

Hmmmm, took the help of a friend with the PC edit, how about now?

Oversharpened and a bit noisy.

How about this one

Sharpening is better, but there are other issues with contrast, horizon, and as I mentioned before, noise.

I fixed the above issues and uploaded it, it still got rejected for “under sharpened/soft” and horizon, I’ve made another edit yet again, what and how can I fix the issues, if any.

Borderline soft/contrast. Last time I will comment on this one.
