Hello,

I want to ask for pre-screening of attached photo, especially concerning about contrast/exposure.



Thank you

Maybe a touch dark, but would be ok for me.

Hi,

today, there was a special opportunity to catch Il-76 on my home airport. As the weather forecast was fine, I decided to go. However, weather was not so fine after all - cloudy overcast day. I know JP will most likely not accept photos taken in bad weather for poor contrast, however I wanted to ask if attached photo has any chances, as this kind of airplane was somehow special. I wanted to take photo in front of moutains to reduce poor grey sky, but tail stabilizer was too high.

Thank you for your time.

Contrast is indeed quite poor; an image of this with the updated livery has already been accepted, but be aware we are usually a bit more lenient for first images, so yours might get a little more scrutiny.

Yes I know it. So I will keep it for personal collection, thanks for you time.

Hello,

yesterday, there was a special visitor on my home airport. I took some photos during his evening departure, however have some doubts which to upload.

#1


This was taken during take off roll. As I like this angle more, it is obvious that sun was behing cloud so contrast is not great. Question is, if you think it is fixable with better contrast edit.

#2

This was taken during taxi, when I think light was better and hopefully contrast is fine on this one, however, angle was not that good.

So my question is - does it worth to spend some effort on #1, or better to go on with #2?

Thank you for your feedback.

Both have issues with contrast and softness, though the light is a bit better on the second.

Thank you. I have adjusted contrast and added some extra sharpening to the second.

Hello,

I have some difficultys with the attached photo. To make long story short:

- is the contrast on photo good enought to be accepted, or should I try to adjust it more?
- is the motive acceptable, as pilot is visible on the photo?

Thank you
Marian

Contrast and motive are fine. Sharpness will be an issue.

Hi,

I have added some extra sharpening to the previous image, however, has been rejected for soft. So now I have adjusted it more. Can you tell me if the sharpening is ok now? Thank you

Still soft maybe even somewhat blurry.

Hello,

today I have received this reject:

https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=8826989

So I adjusted histogram via curves, hoping to resolve contrast and exposure problem. I kindly ask to prescreen attached photo, if it is acceptable. Thank you.

Slightly better, though contrast is still a bit too harsh.

Thank you. I made one more version, could you check if contrast is better (not too harsh and not too low) on new edit?

Thank you.
