There is no pre-screening for similar images. Please choose one.

Hi dlowwa sorry to bother you but could I please get some quick pre-screening for these images? I'm most worried for the 3rd pic as I'm not sure whether it would count as too much dead space, but the main motive is to display how big the 747 is, so please let me know, thanks!

1. soft/blurry, obstruction, dark
2. borderline soft/dark
3. ok for me

Alright, I won't fix the first one since it is obstructed by that pole, but I have fixed the second one. Is this better? Thanks

Would be ok for me.

Is this too dark?

*sky is unmodified, thunderstorms were coming in that day

I've been reading up a lot on the forums and softness seems to be a pretty prominent rejection reason. Is there any specific way to fix softness in post processing (personally I have sharpness on 40~50 and I bump the texture up to 15 and clarity to 20) that is more efficient? Thanks

Would be rejected for soft, color, centering.

Much better to simply start with a sharp image.

Took that with my digital camera on vacation plus I was shooting through tinted glass. Wasn't expecting much tbh

Worst case scenario? I've had soft images rejected before but then accepted after I upped the texture and such. Is this the proper method? Thanks

If it worked, it worked? That's like saying "I failed the test, but I studied again and passed. Did I study the right way?"...without you providing more detail, yeah, I guess you did?

Hi

would this count as too dark? It's my first time editing "night" shots so i would like to apply this to my other photos. Thanks
