Hello,
Could I please ask for some advice with this photo, particularly in regards to the slight banding in the sky please? I'm not sure how noticable it is, and if so, how best to fix it. I've had methods that have worked in the past, though they don't seem to be fixing this one.
Thank you!

Contrast very weak; if you're finding banding in the sky where there are fine gradations between colours, I find saving the raw file as a 16-bit uncompressed tif and editing that before converting to 8-bit jpeg as the final step usually eliminates it.
Thank you

Thank you for the advice dlowwa! I shall keep that in mind. The sky isn't often very blue in Scotland, so I doubt it'll be an issue I have to bother with frequently I've dropped the blacks down on this image, perhaps there is an improvement? I wouldn't want to over darken the sky, but curious as to how you think this looks please?
Thank you

Still weak contrast and banding visible. Weak contrast very likely due to the window, probably not much you can do about it.
I still wasn’t too sure about the contrast, so had a look at some very similar photos already accepted onto the database, though couldn’t determine any significant difference myself. The wing ‘stands out’ to me and the local contrast still seems moderate. Perhaps I am focussing on something with the wrong viewpoint?
Thank you again!

Hi there,
I recently had this image rejected for 'soft' and 'cut-off'. I think I've fixed the softness issue though I thought, given the motive of the moon shot, this crop would be acceptable. Could anyone please explain a little more please? I had seen similar 'moon crossing' shots accepted here where only part of the aircraft is shown. In some cases, these examples only showed part of a fuselage in front of the moon, similar to my case here.
Thank you for the feedback!

Blurry, overprocessed. No chance it would be accepted.
Do you think there is any slight hope for 1200px? I've seen this style of photo pulled off before and thought that I'd give it a try. I'd be grateful for your advice when it comes to editing this style of image please!

Better at 1200, but I can still see the flaws, they're just a bit less obvious. Chances are slightly better, but I still wouldn't rate them as good.
