wkd001- Editing advice

[dlowwa]

Thanks for that Dana, I've tried my luck with the second one, and will probably try to fix the third.

Last sunday I went out, but accidentally I changed my settings in one of my cameras so unfortunately only JPG's came out.
So I've tried to edit them, but I am really unsure about all of these, as I'm not used into this kind of editing.
I know all have similar angle also, but they are all some kind of special for me
So for these photos I would like a prescreen.

Borderline soft/(harsh) contrast. Some dust spots visible, yes.

[wkd001]

1. ok for me, but might be seen as soft along the fuselage by some
2. very awkward crop



1. soft
2. borderline backlit/contrast
3. horizon, borderline (harsh) contrast

For all I'm mostly unsure on sharpening/soft, dirt, and contrast

If there is anything more I would like to know as well.

Thanks in Advance

Hello.

I've ran into some rejects lately and do not really know which way to go with two of them.

At first this one. https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=10264354. I don't see what is exactly really soft here.
Is it just overall softness or really bad points. (Was a late evening shot so could be)
At second this one. https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=10284833
Technically I can understand this reject, The wings look odd indeed. but I can't crop closer to the tail or gear in this case as also the entire frame was not included in the original
Now I've moved to a 4:3 frame for a tighter crop , but my felling is, that this one is soft. Could anyone give a double check here on that and maybe other issues?

Especially on contrast/backlit and maybe other issues

I'm almost sure that this one is soft and heathazed.

1. soft
2. borderline backlit/contrast

A bit soft, but otherwise ok for me.

[wkd001]

Yes, quite soft. Also noisy, imho. Contrast borderline harsh.

Thanks for that Dana, apparently my judging failes me in this case, but seeing the soft myself and indeed imaginable noise, due to my way of editing here , I'll drop this one

All images soft/borderline soft, but otherwise ok for me.

Could you please be more specific on the borderline case(s)? Especially unsure on the Qatar and the Pegasus as I think the Easyjet is borderline and the LOT is too soft.

And another prescreen request

Had this one queued but removed it after getting doubts on sharpness and contrast on this one


Thanks in advance

However today I ran into some issues which gave a reason to come back here.

At first this reject https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=10170041 for softness and contrast. I don't totally understand this one
I don't see a lot of softness here. All the hard lines are visible however I could imagine that maybe the window areas and the nose might be too soft here.
Contrast I disagree on as I have been careful with it adding due to the conditions. So I left all the areas visible and not washed out in my idea.

At second I had a small evening session but I ran into some photos at the end which I am unsure of, so I would like a prescreen on them.

All images soft/borderline soft, but otherwise ok for me.

[wkd001]

First is soft towards the nose; second I guess a bit soft overall but would have been ok for me.



All three borderline dark/soft.

Thanks for everything about that post Dana.

Biggest potential issues are here, processing, contrast and softness.

Biggest potential issues here are especially contrast and exposure.Note that the entire aircraft was not included in the original

Biggest potential issues for me here are color/white balance (taken around 30 mins before sunset) heathaze, softness and exposure.

Biggest potential isssue here is softness.

If there is anything I might have missed i would like to know as well

Thanks in advance and regards.

Recently I've got some softness rejects where I would like some clarifications on. Also for my own understanding As I still don't seem to get this right
At firsthttps://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=10118003 .I see the left side being soft but the right side being acceptable in my eyes .
Could this be rejected for the left side or is this overall softness?

At second https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=10121178. This one I don't really understand as i see the most of the hard lines here,
and I have several other photos from this spot and point accepted from this day.Or maybe I'm just missing the point here.

First is soft towards the nose; second I guess a bit soft overall but would have been ok for me.

Also I would like a prescreen on three photos

All three borderline dark/soft.

[wkd001]

1-2. borderline soft
3. ok for me
4-5. soft

Thanks a lot for all Dana. The Delta and the helicopter got accepted.

Also I would like a prescreen on three photos
Main concerns here are especially crop and softness

Main concerns here are crop and maybe motive. For both these images counts that they were shot in a sort of close up with no complete aircraft included.
Main issue here is sharpening in one part it looks soft, but another part oversharpened to me

Thank you in Advance.

[dlowwa]

Thanks a lot for coming back for those also Dana.

I've lowered the contrast for the first a bit an queued it and will drop the third.

However, I ran again into some again, which I would like a prescreen on.

1-2. borderline soft
3. ok for me
4-5. soft

[wkd001]

Yeah that one was a bit ridiculous. Don't bother appealing, I already accepted it.

Thank you so much for that Dana

1. contrast a bit harsh, but other wise ok for me.
2. soft, borderline overexposure/contrast
3. soft, borderline contrast/backlit

This is another snap of the Delta A350 from the previous post. Not sure on Vignetting, contrast , exposure, glare and crop at least.

Very unsure on this one on especially heathaze (apparently causing blurry or very soft) and maybe exposure/contrast

Biggest concerns here are contrast and sharpness. Maybe also horizon and glare (photo taken in my hometown btw)

However, today I received a similar reject and again I do not totally accept this one https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=10029479.
At least in my opinion this is definetely not underexposed. Top of the aircraft is already very close to blown out. The histogram is not showing underexposure and the contrast is as least debatable in my eyes.

Potential issues for me here are glare ,exposure, contrast and the crop . (Original file had not much more of the aicraft included, at least not the entire aircraft at all)

Potential issues here hare contrast ,exposure and sharpness.

1. contrast a bit harsh, but other wise ok for me.
2. soft, borderline overexposure/contrast
3. soft, borderline contrast/backlit

[wkd001]

More to do with the angle of the aircraft than any technical underexposure as most of the aircraft is in shadow. I don't necessarily agree with that decision, but it was screened by two, and both voted too dark.

Thanks for your explanation Dana.

I'll drop this one,

So I'm curiious if this one stands a chance on appeal as the angle is at least better compared to the previous one and far more of the aircraft is better shown.
Also a would like a prescreen on some photos.

Thanks for both Dana,

Yesterday I received this reject https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=9986343. for underexposed.
If I see the histogram here , I don't really understand that, as to histogram is fully stretched here.
Also adding more exposure would blow out some parts of the aircraft imho.
Though I could inderstand contrast being an issue here, as it's also partially backlit on the tail.
How do I have to understand this one?

Thanks in advance
