wkd001- Editing advice

[wkd001]

1. looks like branches might actually be over main gear, in which case yes obstruction. Contrast also a bit harsh.
2. borderline dark/contrast, yes; if I had to guess I would say probably a rejection.

Thanks Dana, I even found (after intense search) two branches blocking the RH main gear, which brings me the conclusion to NOT use them for JP.

Now i would like a prescreen for these two photos.

Both were taken on a clear winter day, with snow refelcting on the belly of the aircrafts.
As this was pretty new for me to photograph, I am not sure if I had edited the correctly.
Biggest potential issues for me are contrast, processing, color and maybe exposure.
If I missed something, I would like to know as well.

Thanks in Advance.

Contrast is fine, color looks a touch oversaturated, and aircraft a bit soft. Otherwise ok for me.

Thanks a lot Dana,

I've queued an (in my eyes) improved version of the China Cargo

I've also reworked the EK 777F, but as I'm still unsure about its quality I would again like a prescreen on it.

At least softness is a big potential issue on this one. Especially upper part of the aircraft.

I also have a second question.
I've had this reject today https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=8913570
Sorry for maybe annoying here, but i still find it difficult to manage sharpness/too soft sometimes.
On this reject I don't really see what is exactly too soft as I'm seeing almost all the hard lines.
Maybe the LH-side on the aircraft is the issue.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance and regards.

Nose/tail/wingtip soft.. basically the farther away from the center of the frame, the more soft it gets.

Added some sharpness and exposure to the Emirates and tried my luck with it.

I would like to offer the Kenya again for prescreening
Even shot at 1/800 and f/10, I think the crop and focal length of this shot (290mm) kills this shot. Could you (or someone else of course) check again on sharpness and maybe other stuff I could have missed (personally don't think so, but never sure of course). If it fails, so be it.

At second I had this reject https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=8932096 which I totally don't understand.
Checked the centering with the tool and it should be good.
Maybe the crop is the killer, (entire aircraft was not included in the original file) but that's not stated in the reject, otherwise part of aircraft cut off?
Don't also see the issue with the contrast here.
Any guidance or futher explanation would be appreciated .

Thanks in advance

Looks a little unbalanced towards the left side.

I've reworked the LAN Cargo. So this time ,I would like a prescreen on it.

Crop should be better now, but at least an eye on contrast and exposure would be appreciated, but to me. I can't push the contrast any further.

I also would like a prescreen on two other images

Both surprised me with quick turns which are making the angles maybe unattractive
I'm not sure on at least sharpness on them and maybe other stuff I've missed.

Thanks in Advance.

1. still somewhat soft & dark, but centering looks fine to me.
2-3. not uploadable

I've applied extra sharpening and could add extra exposure to the LAN Cargo and queued that final version.

Weird of the IB and the AA, as my PC warns me normally if the files are too huge for uploading, Maybe that only works for 16-9 images

Anyway, I would still like a pre screen on the AA, the IB I abandon.

Still sharpening, contrast and exposure are my biggest potential issues and maybe the weird angle, as the aircraft turned quickly to the left.

Also I would like a prescreen on this image.

Biggest potential issues for me here are contrast/ shadows and maybe color.

Maybe also other things I could have missed on both.

Thanks in advance.

Improved versions of both got accepted at the end.

After some time no aviation for me, I would lik a prescreen on three images I'm very unsure about.

Worries about softness,contrast and crop at least.The entire aircraft was not included on the RAW-file (was around 75% of it).

Biggest worries here are contrast, exposure and crop. Again not the entire aircraft included in the RAW-file (Left wing was partially cut-off in this case).

Biggest worries her are sharpness and (of course) contrast. Also curious if the glare is not too disturbing.

If there is anything I've missed, I would like to know as well.

Thanks in advance and Regards.

Thanks Dana.

I've tried to rework the second of the previous post and especially on terms of dark and contrast.
Again I would like a prescreen on it as I'm still unsure about it, but also understand that the condtions (dark foreground and lighter background and the sun almost on the back of the aircraft) aren't in my favor. Lifted up the shadows a bit and added some blacks. Also addded a tiny touch of exposure,


I also would like a prescreen on this one.
Very unsure about especially sharpening here.

Thanks in advance and regards
