2 rejected shots

[seahawks7757]

So I was wondering what I should edit in these 2 shots to get them accepted and how to do it with the program named GIMP.
If anyone else know of any good freeware programs please feel free to suggest.

Hi There Brandon
The first photo has to much dead space on the left hand side of the frame and is very small within the frame, you could try cropping in closer but you would loose alot of quality and there isnt a large amount of quality there.

The whole frame is very grainy however this could be reduced slightly, but be careful it may cause the detail to look soft and blurry.

Catergories I'm not sure however I imagine cargo would need to be selected.

The second photo is probaly unsavable but it is worth a try if you like.
The aircraft is framed in the upper left and lacks space below and to the left try cropping so the distance above and below each wing tip is the same, and the distance from snout to the left and wings to the right is the same.
The photo is soft and could actually be a little on the blurry side.
The distance issue ive explained above.
Contrast is very weak in both shadows and highlights and using levels or curves you should be able to get it about right.
Catergories look above.

I will have a play for you later when I'm on my computer not my biology teachers laptop.
If you like add me on msn --> [email protected]
I will also try and work out how to use GIMP and explain it to you.
Hope that helps.

Altough the shots aren't good enough for JP, they are interesting, for example, I didn't know it says 747-800 on the belly. You are a very lucky person to see the first flight of the 748F too. Next time you need to crop your photos, these ones had too much deadspace (so lot's of unecessery sky etc.) Not sure how old you are but these are just some stuff you should know. Before putting them in the queue too, post your pictures on this thread: http://forums.jetphotos.net/showthread.php?t=31562 (and if your lucky, you could ask someone to edit a shot for you, or get some tutorials etc.) Here is something my friend did, download a free trial of photoshop and try it out.

seahawks7757, before starting editing you have to read the guide you can find here on jp forums about editing a aircraft photo and you have to read and understand the rejection reasons. Is is clear to me that you aren't familiar with the rejection reson after reading your post. 5 out of 8 rejections could be understood and corrected if you had read the editing guide.

This is possibly true! A reasonably in depth look at the upload guidelines and taking note of the examples in there should give a better idea of why these images were rejected and what the JP standards require:

The rejection reasons kind of explain themselves; subject too far means the crop needs to be closer, too much or too little contrast means the shadows or highlights (or both) need to be increased or decreased (in this case the shadows need to be a little more bold). Have a read of the upload guidelines and if there's anything you're unsure about then feel free to mention it and we'll do what we can to clarify and help.
