Soft in spots. Otherwise ok for me.

Thanks for that Dana,

I've found some soft spots indeed (in my opinion) ,corrected them and uplaoded on a bit lower resolution

Unfortunately Ive to ask again for more explanation on a reject.

Regarding this one https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=11481730.
Think I;ve found the softness (LH side of the photo'especially?), but totally don't understand what's wrong with the contrast here?
Any explanation would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot for accepting the first one Dana, that's highly appreciated.

I still don't know what to do with the second one.
Could you help me with recognising compresion artefacts please?
I've checked the guidelines for compression, but I can''t find bordering colors in the photo.
The only thing I can see is that the vapour trails look too odd, maybe to too much noise saturation?

Other option is that I also have this one.


But I have very high doubts about the contrast in this one,
Could you give an eye over it otherwise

Many thanks in advance

First is fine, I've accepted it. Second is borderline, so I'll leave it to you to appeal if you see fit.

Unfortunately I've had two rejects which I don't really understand

At first this one, https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=11468106 for oversharpen,

I see some oversharpening on the cheatline,but is it really that bad?

At second this one https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=11469619 for JPG artefacts.
This one really surprises me as my workflow should exclude this reject reason for me, And I've edited it as any other.
Make a first step to a TIFF , and continue with processing after that, and in both cases save at the highest quality
It was quite humid/ foggy that day, and several aircrafts produced condensation / vapour trails, so maybe something has been mistaken here?
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Both soft/slightly soft.

Color fine on rejected image, I've accepted it.

Thanks a lot for accepting the rejected image Dana,
All the best for 2024 at first.

Thanks Dana,

One final retry for the third one.
I think it will remain too soft , but you're better in judging that as I am.

I've caught the first one of the previous batch in better light conditions on the last occasion.
As I'm not sure on the sharpness of this one also, I would like a prescreen on this one (also on other stuff I might have missed here.

At last I just came across this reject .https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=11446562
Probably for being too blue, but for some reasons, the light was just like that.
Even while playing with the balance for a moment, I have the idea, I can't get it mutch better as the light was pretty weird this day.
Or maybe it was a contrast reject?
Anyway ,any guidance would be appreciated here.

Because you're mostly shooting the belly/underside of the aircraft which is dark.

Thanks Dana,

I'll leave this one for the personal collection..

Only one question for the second one.
Is the contrast still too little?
Apparently the angle is quite difficult for me to get an acceptable contrast here.

Hello,

Due to several circumstances I feel the need to re-activate this thread again.

I would like pre-screen on five photos.

1. borderline dark/contrast/soft
2. borderline soft/contrast
3. backlit/contrast/soft/horizon. not fixable.
4. horizon, borderline soft
5. dark, borderline horizon/soft
