wkd001- Editing advice

[wkd001]

Thanks Dana, you're right about the softness mentioned, but this was a re-edit with extra sharpness added and even a small resize, compared to the one I brought to this thread. But apparently I've done something wrong in the re-edit in at least sharpening. I will study, re-edit and come back here.

After studying and re-editing, I really doubt it's fixable. On the RAW-file it seems good, but while editing, quality seems to get destroyed in my eyes.Not a that big crop, but still the fact is the fact.Took another snap out for editing of this one, but running into issues for around at least 60% of the aircraft. Especially running to back the quality is nood good for me, around windows and maybe even tail in looks soft or maybe even blurry.Could you (or someone else seeing this ofcourse) prescreen this version for me


Besides this one, i would like a prescreen on two other images.

Same story a bit as the EY. deleted a previous version out oof queue, due to softness thoughts, reworked and resized a bit coming this.
Biggest concerns here are sharpness, horizon and contrast Of course contrast here, but might have avoided that with setting the aircraft against the trees. Please note here, that the wing was cut-off already in the RAW-file, so I needed to compose to something like this. So also cut-off and exposure are potential issues for me here.

Thanks in advance.

1-2. soft
3. borderline contrast/cut off

Thanks a lot Dana, I'll try my luck with the third one. If it fails,so be it.

Now I would like a prescreen on these two images.

Biggest worry for me is the fact i think its too soft.


Biggest worries here are also softness, especially to the front and if the colors and exposure are sufficient for late autumn light.

If there are thinks I've missed, I would likew to know as well.

Thanks in advance,

First one yes borderline for soft/blurry. Second definitely soft.

OK thanks Dana,

I've tried the TAROM with some extra sharpening and resizing to the smallest size.(so NOT the one shown here)

Now I would like a prescreen on these two photos

Again this one, Tried to rework the sharpening as the original looks good to me, but maybe I'm seeing it wrong. So my most important questiom is, if it's sharp enough right now,

One it the very last light of the day. A total prescreen on at least sharpness, exposure, centering and contrast would be appreciated here.

Thanks in advance

Both a bit soft towards the edges, especially the right side.

Thanks about that Dana, I've tried my luck with an in (in my eyes) improved and resized version of the Ural.

I've had this reject recently https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=8596771 but can't really figure out where the softness exactly is.
Supposing the entire aircraft is too soft, but for some reason i don't see, so any guidance or explanation would be appreciated.
For surance I've made this re-edit.

But personally I don't think it's better, but an extra eye would be appreciated here.

i also would like a prescreen on this one.
There was sunlight, but bit weird conditions, Clouds came also in. Image from last summer. Curious if it will pass the contrast cut. Maybe exposure and sharpness could also come into play.

Thanks in Advance.

Whole thing is a bit soft, but more noticeable towards the nose. Updated one is a bit better.

Soft and borderline dark/contrast.

OK Thanks Dana,

Would the revised Etihad still get rejected for softness? I can try to more improve around the nose, because I also thought that was the worst part.

I will forget the DHL, because colors and contrast are weird and don't think there is improvement possible on that.

[dlowwa]

OK Thanks Dana,

Would the revised Etihad still get rejected for softness?

Would be ok for me, but that's just my opinion.

I've re-edited that one again and could add more sharpness, that re-edit got accepted finally.

Now I would like a prescreen on two photos

Main question if this one is sharp enough. It looks soft or even a little heat-hazed to me. Extra eye on contrast, exposure and horizon would also be appreciated


A total prescreen would be nice here. Don't know if something like this is acceptable. Low sun shining through the clouds here (around 45 minutes before sunset.)
I've ried to stretch the histogram as far as possible, but unsure about at least, sharpness, exposure and total processing.

Thanks in advance.

Both are a bit soft, but should be fixable. I think the second one works just fine and if you can get the sharpness right would be a nice shot.

Thanks a lot about that Dana,

I've queued (in my eyes at least) improved photos from both.
Now I would like a prescreen on this one.

The colors were a little different, but I had to off-center the aircraft to include the entire sun here.
Is such kind of centering acceptable in this case and if so how is this one in terms of at least, contrast, color and processing?

Thanks in advance.

Soft, but otherwise works for me.

Thanks Dana,

An improved version got accpeted today luckily

Really don't know if something like this would work here. I could cut off the dark part of the clouds underneath here, but in my opinion, they add atmosphere right know, Also it's impossible to center the aircraft here properly in this composition. Alos an extra view on processing, contrast, and sharpness (have a lot of issues with that at the moment) would be appreciated here.

Sun took her final gasp of light here before disappearing finally, She was just hitting the back of the aircraft here. Not possible to include here, but also an extra view on processing, exposure, contrast and sharpness would be appreciated here.

Thanks in advance.
