How can I send pictures in here?

Understood, thanks for the explanation. But I didn't even edit the photo to make it that dramatic. That was just how the contrast was. I didn't use the highlights tool and I also didn't use the shadows tool for that specific photo. I just pushed the whites up by +30 and the blacks down to -30. I also adjusted the exposure of course

Do you think if I adjust the blacks (from -30 to -10 for example) it would look more natural?

Can't speculate on something I can't see.

Of course I want constructive feedback and I am not here to complain, I just want to understand these rejections. Adjusting the processing could have affected the contrast but the question is, is the contrast too much or too little? I personally don't think that the contrast is off and that is why I need help

The main issue is your style of editing (pulling/pushing shadows & highlights to give that dramatic contrast) makes it (contrast) look unnatural. It may look good to you (or others), but we see thousands of images a week and the vast majority don't have such editing, which makes images edited like yours stand out as being off.

For this case specifically, less dramatic (strong) contrast would most likely give it a more natural appearance.

I just fixed the overprocessing by getting rid of the halos around a few parts of the aircraft. I didn't change the framing and I see nothing wrong with the contrast at all. The framing does not look off to me either

Framing is indeed subjective (a bit high, but ok for some), but adjusting the processing could not have also conceivably affected the contrast?

Anyway, if you're just here to vent/complain, fine, but if you'd actually like constructive feedback, let me know.`

Hi, this photo got rejected before for Bad Postprocessing/Overprocessed : https://www.jetphotos.com/viewreject_b.php?id=12169205
Now I fixed the overprocessing and now it got rejected again but for completely new reasons? I don't get it

I'm assuming it's a new edit from the previous rejection?

Not a screener but it seems a bit too strong.

[Leoanrd Damm]

Ahh okay. I probably brightened up the shadows a bit too much. What about the contrast rejection reason? Is it too much or too less on the TAP photo?

What is s/h ?

shadows / highlights. Also dehaze clarity can cause halos
