I just tried to up load my first photo and it was rejected for Vignetting, JPEG artifacts and wrong category. Can I get some advice what I did wrong? I didn't add vignetting its the 70-200 zoom issue. Am I getting artifacts due to compression? I'm only adding it because there are no other photos of this particular helicopter

Not a sceener, but I would say:
1.The photo is badly compressed, leading to the poor quality. Not sure what software you are using to process photos, but I recommend Photoshop, choosing the highest quality when re-saving as a JPG.
2.The vignette is caused by your lens generally. When using a big aperture (e.g. F2., or using the long side (200mm in your case) of a lens which is not SO good, this would happen. You could use PS to reduce them, but the easiest way to avoid it is to use a smaller aperture (F8 or so), a smaller frame (APS-C instead of Full) and a shorter focal lenth initially when you are taking a photo.
3.Not knowing your particular case, but please remember to choose 'military' and 'helicopter' while uploading.
Hope the above would help. Regards.

If you wish to have it accepted, all visible flaws should be minimized as best as possible. Image is heavily compressed, likely due to your save settings. Also needs a tighter crop if you decide to go for a re-edit.

I'd also say crop it tighter, and it's a little too high in the frame, and dark as well.

hello I'm not a screener but this image seems too soft to me. You're probably using the zoom to the maximum extension (which is never a good thing especially in low light conditions) and a large aperture which results in poor depth of field.
Finally I would like to ask you, because this could also be a problem, which method of focusing you use. I remind you that if your camera allows it, the continuous focus method should be used for moving subjects. In Canon it's AI Focus, in Nikon or others I don't know.
Also the horizon is unlevel
Excuse my bad english

Thank you very much for the feedback. I've added the original uncropped image for viewing. I always level my pics for the ground and never noticed the trees. They are actually growing weird so it looks un-level. It does look unlevel with that crop so thank you. It is shot with continuous focus on a Nikon Z-6 and 200-500 lens at 270mm F6.3 -- I think the image is pretty sharp but I am guessing its getting softer as I crop and then resize. I think this picture needed to much editing for it to ever be approved. I'll start working on a better quality picture.
