Confusing Rejection

[Rtyrpics]

Guys,

I had this image rejected for being:
Dark/Underexposed
To much or little contrast

Link: Rejected Photo

Can someone please explain this as I dont understand?
Thanks
Ryan

I don't understand where your confusing is coming from.
Although the histogram is not showing it, you must see that it very dark.
The only part with a bit of light is the area around the cockpit windows

Arjen,

Thanks for your response, I can now see the problem with the photo and shall attempt a re-edit.
Thanks for your help.

Nothing more to add to Arjen's (hopefully NOT confusing post), that the best way around is to tweak the curves on the shadows. All in all a nice photo, BTW.

I have just one little thing to add - when re-editing, beware of the jaggies on the horizontal stab. Not good - easy fixed though.
