    Nr.1 is in the queue and I will probably upload nr 3 and 5 after some additional sharpening.
    Nr.4 shall remain personal.
    Nr.2 gives me doubts due to the long focal length of this shot even after additional sharpening as well. .

    So here it is again.

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]15262[/ATTACH].

    Three new ones for advice.

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]15263[/ATTACH]
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]15264[/ATTACH]
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]15265[/ATTACH]

    As final a special one.

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]15266[/ATTACH]

    As I do have this one in the database https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/8568667. It could be considered similar, due to the almost identical angle, but I hope the backdrop (clouds) is different enough. Of course this one was taken more than a year later.
    I'm not sure ,so that's the reason I want to ask.

    Thanks in advance.

    Best Regards,

    Wilko
    All are borderline soft.

      Thank you again for your time Dana.
      I will try 2,4 and 5 after adding some extra sharpening.

      Received this reject today. https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=6522701
      Don't understand this one to be honest. Had sun and it was completely in my back, maybe too weak?
      What should I exactly do to solve this?
      Gave it a little try, but do still have a lot of doubts.

            AC/SQ just need a little adjustment to the contrast as the shadows are a little weak. Something like the left side here:

              Should have fixed the AC properly thanks to your guidance and pulled it in the queue.
              Also did another attempt to the SQ. Should be better now, but due to the different angle, I want to show it here again.

              Received this reject, https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=6527730 , but can't really point out what the problem exactly is.
              Too blue or green? Little hazy morning wasn't helping me also.
              Advice would be appreciated.

              Thanks in Advance.

                Any advice would still be appreciated. But do understand it's busy with a lot of other things for all of you.

                • Hi Wilko,
                  looks like you used some editing filters like NIK collection or similar, the detail extraction, the colors seem to indicate it.
                  Wasn't the problem that you were actually just backlit and tried to compensate with the editing ? I've been to ZRH countless times and I don't remember not being backlit for her takeoff when you're on this side, even in winter.

                  Kind Regards
                  alex

                    Hi Alex,
                    The only things I've done is just to try things with the color curves in Lightroom. Didn't use any filters at all. The SQ A380 was in my opinion maybe on the border with light. Brought an early shot to get rid of the backlight. The Swiss A330-300 was one of the first taken that day. So the light shouldn't be an issue on that one. From the Edelweiss A340 from earlier in this thread, (I thought it was borderline) the light was against me. The SQ was before the Edelweiss. All take offs after these won't be seen here. Unfortunately I didn't have a car. So still curious if these two can be corrected.

                      But anyway,
                      Is there any chance that one of these two is fixable, or should I give them up?

                        Still curious about a possible answer. Can't imagine I've done something wrong. If so my sincere apologies.

                          Don't think Alex visits the forums as often as others

                          I don't see anything with the two that make me immediately discount them, but without seeing the originals, I can't really tell you if it would be worth the effort to keep trying with them.

                            Thank you for your words Dana,

                            Will try the Singapore and try to correct the Swiss A330.
                            I will bring the re-edit to this thread for advice.

                              Will keep them both at bay at leat for a while.

                              After receiving this reject https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=6543124 with the aircraft too high, I made an edit of a shot a little later.
                              Want to know if this one has a chance.
