I can normally understand rejection reasons provided by the screeners, but I'm not sure what to do about this one: http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject.php?id=74519
Is it repairable or a throwaway?
I don't really agree with this rejection, I have seen worse cases yet. But you should try to ease up on your sharpening. The most noticable "step jaggies" are on the cockpit windows. Sharpen until you start seeing the jagged edges of a straight line, and stop sharpening just prior to these becoming visible on the photo.
I didn't screen this picture, but I would also have rejected it. Am I a bad person now? I don't think so... see below, why
The reason, why I would reject is simple: with a little bit of effort in trying a new sharpening technique, you will improve your next pictures a lot. So, an investment of pehaps 15 minutes ONCE and better pics in future. If we accept this picture, you wouldn't know, that it was that easy to get a better picture.
Another thing to watch, while at it, is the JPG compression, in my opinion. There seem to be some JPG artefacts around the windows.
My tip: Start from the original picture again, adjust colors, level, crop, resize and sharpen again. Or, post a link to the picture, saved right before sharpening and someone might have a look at it. How's that?
The only time I've ever lost an original is maybe once or twice when I've saved "over" the original by accident in Photoshop. I have to stop editing my photos late at night...
Sorry to be late in the thread AJ, but I was the one who rejected your picture. As Clovis said, we might have accepted worse, but I thought in this one it didn't seem it needed that much, and being oversharpen it would ruin a really nice picture, as you final picture proves.
