That cockpit shot took me already a lot of forum posts! I hope it's finally fixed now as I am keen to add this to the database! I hope the CW is fine now, I can't change it more. Thanks for the continued support, I know I ask a lot sometimes

Leveling is ok now, but the sharpness has been affected. Quite soft now.

I think it’s because of the upload on internet, should be ok on my computer. I will add this one to the queue! Thank you for the help on this one!

Thank you for your quick reply! I added some sharpness to the pictures, is it better now?



It's difficult to change the brightness of the sky, I slightly changed it but would it be a major issue?

I would keep those ones for the personnel collection honestly, they have little chances of being accepted due to poor contrast (and color issues on the 330) - Maybe the 737 is borderline

I was wondering if this shot would be acceptable for the database. It's taken in the early evening in April around 6 PM so when it would get a positive pre-screen, would I have to tick the category 'night shot'?

Thanks

and what do you think of this ones?

Good Evening

In each picture are compression artefacts in the sky, wich leads to a rejection i think.

As Julian correctly pointed out, there photos show JPG compression artefacts in the sky.

On his suggestion, I tried to change it a bit. How can I improve it? Apart from that, are there any problems? Is it so severe in each picture?
To be honest, I have seen other pictures accepted with more compression...

You can't reduce compression artefacts, once they are in a photo. You can avoid them by following a few simple steps:
- When you edit a photo, do all your editing and save the photo only once as the very last step before uploading a photo.
- Save with the highest JPG quality settings
- If you shoot JPG, make sure the camera is set to highest quality settings
- Be careful with noise reducing, as this tends to add JPG compression artefacts

Hi

#1-3 have strong chromatic aberrations. (violet or green edges)

#4 and 5 too, not that strong like 1-3 but visible. (you can delete them with lightroom very easy in one click)

*For quality of your pictures i can't give a statement
because i'm looking on my smartphone.
So best wait for a screener here.*

Have a nice day!
