1. dirty, borderline dark
2-3. ok for me

does the rolling shutter effect make this photo unusable for jetphotos?

thanks

Yeah, not sure how you'll be able to reconcile the background horizon with the foreground.

hello,

is vignetting on the right side of this image allowed? seems it is only really visible in the equalizer.
i shot this at f/8 and applied profile corrections, with both dxo pureraw and lightroom with the same result, can't seem to get rid of the vignette

thanks

Vignetting could be an issue yes. It's strong enough to be seen in the thumbnail even.

Brighter than the rejected version and editing halos are gone, but still soft and poor contrast. Looks like light was partially blocked? Not sure it's fixable.

hi,

is there any amount of heatblur that is acceptable? I am unsure about this image which I think is slightly heat blurred more on the wings but not super noticeable

thanks

i also wanted to ask about the lighting in this photo - is it any good? or would this get a contrast/exposure rejection?

[dlowwa]

1. dirty, heat hazed
2. contrast, borderline soft
