Ok than if there is no favouritism why was this accepted old high and mighty
a. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.
b. Probably accepted because, of the 80 shots in the DB of this aircraft, this is the only one showing a close up of the celebratory scheme on the door. A bit like tailfin shots really...they have the whole of the rest of the aircraft missing !
Ok than if there is no favouritism why was this accepted old high and mighty is it because its good or because you are a screener parts of aircraft are missing no wheels no logo all you see is cockpit window as i say utter bollocks it who you know as i said
We know the frustration that the backlit rejection has caused lately which is why it is under discussion among the crew at the moment, we don't want the standards to become unattainable to non-pro photographers and it is worth remembering that we still accept more pictures than we reject.
I dont whant to cause to much trouble here but i will find the photo that was rejected for backlighting when it was not, the lighting was behind me and maybe a bit to one side. The time and direction of the runway will prove it.
Don't forget you don't have to upload to JP - Rejections are there for a reason, we all get them and yes i've moaned in the past. Theres other things to worry about than JP rejections.
Well i do think the backlit rejection is a bit of a joke on this site. Ive had a few rejected for it where if you where to look at the angle of the runway and the direction i was facing and the time of the day it would show the light was straight behind me.
Also this site takes alot of Duxford shots, they are all backlit due to the allignment of the runway unless you can get over the other side of the airfield. Almost all of the airshow shots from Duxford on here will be backlit doe to the time they are shot. The only exception is if they where taken before about 10am which is noticable.
I have to Agree with you there m8 on the backlit rejections on here being a joke its utter bollocks tbh some backlit shots are superb quality and there is no margin for error i have found that on here it all depends on who you know and not what you know i could find plenty of screeners shots that got accepted on here that if me or you had submitted would get rejected this is another reason i have stopped my subscription, Also its about time that all screeners had the same monitor settings etc coz what looks good on 1 screeners monitor might look crap on anothers

Backlight can also enhance the reflections on an object, for example on the fuselage. I agree, that a well exposed fuselage on a completely overexposed washed out sky should be rejected, but sometimes a bit of backlight can even add a lot to a photo.
Our backlit rejection used to include the words 'poor lighting'. In your case Kim that is more the point. Whilst your settings and post processing are excellent to get the results you have there is no substitute for good lighting.
Unfortunately aircraft and airports don't always pose in just the right light so there are times where it just doesn't work. Whilst your shots are nicer than some with a harsh sun directly overhead they do fall into the 'backlit' category.
