  • what do you think of this reject

    hi guys
    i know there is some natural clutter, it was the look i was hoping for.

    its a photo about atmosphere and nature. and trying something a little different.

        hmm well i wasn't the screener but id say it was the long grass cutting the nose wheel and a bit of the bottom of the engine. The aircraft is quite far away, also i know this is neither here nore there but the MH titles look soft to me.? Try a little kick of USM.
        Try appealing if you feel you've been hard done by.

          Personally I like the composition but as someone mentioned it is just a bit soft.

            Would be perfect for lawnmoverphotos.net

            Seriously: It looks interesting and could be accepted for that, but can also be rejected for parts cut off or foreground clutter. it's a tough call. Either you like this pic or not. That really depends on the screener and - from personal experience as screener - on the daily mood of a screener.

            One drawback in my opinion: the lighting.

            But if you think, the picture should make it, appeal with the reason, why it should be.

            Cheers

              partoftheaircraftismissing.net joining perfectsideshot.com???

              I agree it's a tad soft and undersaturated (last might be due to atmospheric conditions) but there's precious little he could have done about the long grass is there?

                The high grass is a common problem on many airports. I avoid shooting pics of taxiing aircraft at ZRH from certain locations during this period, because I know, the grass will simply distburb me.

                  i appealed and it was rejected.

                  main reason was that you couldnt see the wheels, or should that be to much natural clutter??

                  after taking 15 approach and lined up shots i thought i might try something different, with a little of the beautiful colors of mother nature also.

                      I would have accepted it. I like the grass, its pretty, not anoying. The colors are nice imo, and I also have a fetish for illuminated engine fans...
                      It is slightly soft and backlit, but with a little more sharpening I think it would be pretty nice.

                        thanks all.
                        it makes a nice wallpaper.
                        clovis,
                        i to like the illuminated engines. something about it that i cant put my finger on.

                        and the colors of nature at this time of year are spectacular.

                        well i am using a D60 for the next 2 weeks, lets see what this produces.

                          feel free to manipulate the photo if you can make it look better.

                            I'm not an experienced photographer or anything but i think the missing gear does distract the individual who is viewing the photograph and you would have a 10x better image if you didn't have the grass obstructing some of the aircraft.
