wkd001- Editing advice

[wkd001]

Hello,

I've received this reject lately https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=10676295 , but I'm a little confused about the color part in the reject.
I've only added some contrast, but didn't add any saturation or clarity.
For surance I've made a new edit, where I've toned down the contrast a bit, lowered the white balance a bit also, and tried to adress the horizon issue.

I'm curious If this version adresses the mentioned issues and if the sharpness is acceptable here.

I also have another prescreen request.


I'm very curious if this one is sharp enough ( i think it's not ) if there are no weird artefacts here and if there might be any other issues I might have missed

Thanks in advance.

Thnaks a lot for that Dana,
I will refrain from further attempts on this one.
But another question,
Does this photo also have artefacts/ weird shadows? As I can't see something with the naked eye..



And another question?

Is this one really overexposed? Or is this too harsh contrast?
https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=10644008

If I lower the exposure I'm afraid it will get too dark or bad contrast also.
I will also double check the serial number /CN as I'm little dazed about that, but apparently it wasn't right.

Thanks in advance.

1. soft, otherwise ok for me
2. contrast is too harsh

[wkd001]

Yes, almost certainly. It's so strong I can see it in the thumbnail.

The dark spots on top are from a wire of the fence. I had no opportunity to shoot above it.
Could this cause those artifacts/ weird shadows during editing?
I want to know as I have a similar case from another aircraft waiting for final editing now.

If you were shooting through a fence, that's likely what was mistaken for compression.

Thanks for that Dana,
As I can;t upload the original due to the size limitiations I made a quick re-edit of it, with the upper part of the original included.
Not for prescreeen (it's useless I Know), but only for probably clearing this up for me.

I've received this reject lately https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=10630715 and especially the arifats are striking me.
I've only added some contrast and a bit of saturation and saved twice on the highest quality

I have really no idea how those white lines got there.
I was shooting between the wires of a fence and the wires got some sharp ends at several points.

At second I would like prescrreen on some photos.

1. soft, contrast horizon
2. soft, contrast, borderline overprocessed
3. soft

[wkd001]

1-3. borderline soft (ok for me)
4-5. soft

Contrast a bit harsh on some of them, but ok for me.

Thanks for that Dana,

I've queued the first two after some slight rework.

Maybe it's something with the sun coming from the LH side here.
At second step I've only added (apparently too much) sharpening and saved again on highest quality

Potential issues are sharpness, horizon, glare, contrast, processing.

I think it's too soft and the is some kind of glare/reflection on the LH-side of the photo. (taken from the terminal.

Another original as the one from the previous batch.

Thanks in Advance.

I went to a new spot for me and got some photos which make me unsure and I would like a prescreen on these.

1-3. borderline soft (ok for me)
4-5. soft

Contrast a bit harsh on some of them, but ok for me.

[wkd001]

Borderline for me, but wouldn't necessarily recommend an appeal.

Thanks for that Dana.
As I found another layng of softness after another check, I will indeed refrain from appealing.

For all I could see potential issues with horizon, dust, and softness. With the China Cargo, the sun just popped out of the clouds and the grass still dark, so apparently also contrast/exposure issue.
The final two were taken in very low light with long shadows of the fence, wires, and trees reflecting on the aircrafts, especially on the 77W so both could also have issues with that.
And maybe there is more stuff II could have missed.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I've received this reject today. https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=10576167.
Compared to other soft reject I've had. I have serious doubt that this one is really soft.
Hard lines are visible, ok a little less on the belly, due to a small reflection.
Any extra guidance would be appreciated.

A bit dark (histogram confirms this), but would have been ok for me.

Thanks Dana, Could an appeal stand a chance for this one?



A bit soft, and most of the frame is dark/in shadow, so likely an issue with that.

Ok thanks, I've tried a lot of these shots, so I will look for another one.

Best Regards

I can imagine it being soft. (I see good parts myself, but also soft important parts) But I disagree with the underexposed.
In my eyes the tail and the left engine are close to being blown out already.

Same story as the rejected photo , I've just deleted this one out of my queue


I think this one is soft too.



A total prescreen as I've never done something like this before.

Thanks in advance

For getting things better I made a re-edit of the rejected version again and I will show that now and ask for pre-screen.
Again I did no heavy editing only adding some contrast, removing dust and adding sharpening (sensor is dirty unfortunately,and no time for cleaning yet)

This one is soft.
