Kilo Whiskey Photography - prescreening request / editing advice

[Kilo Whiskey Photo]

Hi there, I'm asking for a prescreening, please. I am fairly happy with this photo however I feel it may possibly be a little under-sharpened.

Not a screener, but this would be soft, also a blueish tint (or contrast), and cutoff with the tail rotor.

Thanks for the feedback, can I simply resolve the softness in post by sharpening more? Unfortunately, the tail rotor is cut off in the original image therefore it's unusable, however for future reference, is the contrast a composition issue at the time of taking the photo or can it be fixed in post, if so how would I go about doing such?

Contrast can usually be adjusted in post, along with the blueish tint. Cutoffs are almost always a write off unless you can make something out of it like a close up (watch for motive fails, probably more for the portfolio than JP though). Softness can sometimes be fixed in post but you'll get an idea over time.

Dark, contrast, soft/blurry. Not fixable, sorry.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm not quite getting the hang of this, I will take the process one step at a time. First, is the raw image usable? Your response is much appreciated

No, the light is of terrible quality. If you're hoping to have images accepted here, you'll need to restrict your attempts to images taken in good light.

Thanks for clarifying that, I will shoot in better light in the future (that's Scottish weather for you)
