  • Crop ratio for tall cropped Jetphotos

    Recently I stumbled upon a Jetphoto with a tall crop of a tower (https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/11332513), and noticed that there are also acceptable shots of aircraft silhouette if there is a sunset/sunrise behind it (https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/11323804). I want to combine these two aspects into one Jetphoto. However, I am unsure what crop ratio I should use for a tower shot. Anybody knows?

    Do you have some examples?

    Because if it's midday with clear blue sky it could be rejected for backlit.

      Anything between 4:3 and 16:9 (or 3:4 - 9:16) is acceptable as a ratio.

        Sorry, I can't figure out how to attach a photo here.
        The sky is pinkish/purplish, with the sun set towards the bottom right of the screen (not directly behind the tower). It is quite late in the sunset.
        Do you think it could be accepted?​

          Possibly, it would depend on the quality.

          As most of you have probably noticed, the forums have been buggy the past ~week or so, first being slow to load, and now not allowing images to be directly attached to posts. We have made the issues known to FR24, but so far they have obviously not fixed the problems. As such, I would like to request that you refrain from

            I was uploading something today and noticed that the "Jetphotos" watermark given after submitting can be moved to locations on the picture that can obstruct or alter the image in some way (for example: using the watermark to cover the rego or airline name or using it to cover an airline logo which may confuse people not familiar with aviation). Can a photo be rejected for this reason?

              Check 6.9 in the upload guidelines. Yes, if it is too obtrusive it may be rejected.

                I see, do you happen to know what the rejection reason will be in the rejection email?

                    I have a photo on an airport overview but that day was completely overcast with little sunlight, will contrast be an issue here? and for airport overviews does the airport have to be lit with direct sunlight?

                      Can't really comment without seeing an image.

                        The attached photos were all rejected for being under-sharpened - soft, looking to see if they are worth appealing and if not, what I can do to improve in the future. Sharpening at 150, detail at 100, radius at 1.5, masking between 75-85.

                        Apologies to the JP.net crew for repeatedly opening new threads, sometimes I do forget and think that it was a website glitch. Will not happen again.

                            Understood. I have removed the only one I appealed. The remaining 4 have not been appealed, looking for advice on what to do with them as in previous reply.

                              I have questions regarding masking for editing in Jetphotos (*Disclaimer: I do not endorse photo manipulation in any way, I have not manipulated any of my photos and don't plan to other than to remove dust spots, and I am seeking clarification on this topic.)

                              I've read the upload guidelines and see that photo manipulation is not tolerated in any way, however, the question I'm asking is if masking for Jetphotos for the purpose of enhancing contrast/the photo is allowed if not overdone? (only subtle manipulation of blacks/whites of a certain area)

                              *attached is an example of what I mean, the first photo is overdone, the second: masking done subtly, and the third: no masking at all.

                              Thanks for your time.​
