Screening: Fair - Process/Method:Inconsistent

[Geoffrey]

Okay, but I don't feel they affect the photo too much at all.. May be I always look at the plane only! Are those really that hurt? (I know the trucks at airports would be) The 737, in my opinion, is one of my best shots!

I have mixed opinions about those:

The planes are sharp and the fence is sort of blurred out, but it isn't blurred enough, thus, it makes it a distracting object and the eye tries to focus on it because it is so close to being in focus. I hope what I am saying makes sense. I like em' though, not bad, just try to maybe get a few inches higher next time.

Geoffrey,

It was me that rejected those shots and I stand by my decision-I think I gave you a personal message with at least one of the rejects from that batch to help you out a bit. I did like these pictures-in terms of the sharpness and the nice light, but the fence totally takes away all the positive points that these pictures had going for them. But the defining thing for me was that you had other shots (very good ones too) of these aircraft taken on the same day, when you already have a decent picture of the Dba 737 accepted why are you worrying about a second shot which is clearly not as good?

Airlnrguy:

Are you suggesting that if the fence was more blurred it would be acceptable.......!

I beleive it still would be cluttered and rejected.

Not exactly, first, I meant if the object was not blocking the aircraft, such as in the Olympic Aviation pic. The fence to me is distracting, because it is too in focus, so my eye tries to focus on that rather than the aircraft, if it was less in focus, my eye would be less distracted from the plane because it realizes that the fence is not part of the picture.

So there is no cure for the 737? I really miss this shot!
Anyway, I'm getting okay with the rejection so I take what Matt and all other say.

What about the ATR? Do you think I can crop it without further "de-quality"?

Thanks for all your comments guys. I really appreciate. Now you have to convince me not to go to Greece (islands) for the same angle shot with the same nice Sun! (I do really want to though I was only brought to there [I'm still a teenager], and I do encourage spotters to go there if you need relaxes!)

Fairness

As another Novice who as had plenty of rejection I have to say that I think that the screeners do a pretty good job. I dont take rejection personally and use it as constructive criticism. If you can't honestly see the point they are making then there are plenty of people who use this site willing to give friendly advice and I have found this to be really useful (and am grateful to all concerned).

I have only looked at the skyvan shot but I would have to say that if I had access to the ramp as it appears you did I would have gone around to the other side of the aircraft to take the shot. That way the obvious obstructions would be out of the picture and you would have the sunlit side of the aircraft. Might have helped ?

Can I have more tips?
So should I move more to the left (Though it was impossible there unless I have brought a ladder!) so that I could have more light on the aircraft?
