no, I am starting from a full size image.

Ok...then not much point in me commenting on something that's not what you'll actually be working on, is there?

This is quite soft, dark, and the color/WB is off. Not sure if it would be worth the effort. If so, I'd recommend reworking the WB from the raw file.

any particular issues? too much contrast? Thanks

Contrast is ok, but crop is much too wide, and there are issues with oversharpening and editing halos as well.

Hopefully, this doesn't any un-fixable issue.

Not much better. There are also issues with the crop (centering) and sharpening, so you will probably need to do a completely new edit.

I under sharpened on purpose. Which way it should be moved for centring?

Crop needs to be tighter. There is far too much empty space on the left and below the aircraft.

Would be rejected for soft, contrast, and overprocessed.

I have read the contrast guideline https://forums.jetphotos.com/forum/a...-or-too-little, followed it, weather is post-rain, time is midday. Location is next to the runway. Level adjustment is shown in the screenshot. Where I am doing it wrong? Was it exposed wrong?
