wkd001- Editing advice

A bit dark/soft, but otherwise ok for me.



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

Thanks Dana,

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

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.

A bit dark/soft, but otherwise ok for me.

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.

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

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

Now i would like a prescreen for these two photos.

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

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.

Thank you Dana, luckily it got accepted.

Now I would like a prescreen on two photos Which I'm unsure about.

Biggest potential issues for me here are contrast, exposure/glare and also sharpening .Also I'm unsure if the bush is not too distracting. (it should not be obstructing the aircraft).

Biggst potential issue here is dark/contrast. Some gloomy late afternoon light on the back of the aircraft. The potential better angles(due to light) were even worse IMHO, so I selected this one

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

Thanks in Advance.

Better, but still borderline.

Thanks Dana,

I've brightened up the shadows now. Is this any bette? Are there no overprocessing features visible right now?
Is there anything else I've missed now?
Thanks in advance.

Contrast is too strong.

On the other hand,
This one got rejected yesterday https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=8797842 for contrast and I don't know which way to go with exactly.
Could it be too much for harsh shadows or too weak for weak fuseelage/underexposure

Any guidance would be appreciated as I didn't get comments on the email on this one.

Thanks in advance!

1. borderline soft
2. ok for me

Thanks a lot Dana,

Reworked the first before uploading and I'm thankful both got accepted.

Thanks for that Dana,

Now I would like a prescreen on two other photos I'm unsure about
Biggest potential issue here for me is contrast (ofcourse). Maybe also sharpening and horizon,

Is a composition like this acceptable? if so are there any issues with at least sharpening and horizon? People are unrecognizable, so that shouldn't be an issue. I can just use the aircraft data right?. I think it's not an overview. It was taken next to a spotting location at AMS.

Thanks in advance

2. ok for me

Second one a bit soft, otherwise ok for me.

Hello,

I would like a prescreen on these two photos
Biggest potential issues for me here are the most the probably weak contrast. Maybe sharpness ,horizon and exposure also.

Biggest issues for me here are the sharpness, horizon and the color. Please note here that this one was taken a half an hour before sunset and it was a day with sun, fog and a rainshower also passed some time before taking this shot.

If I might have missed something I would like to know as well.

Thanks in Advance!
