    Maybe a bit dark, but can't say that it's backlit.

    Is the engine heat haze unacceptable (not processed yet)?

    Does this one work with the lighting?
    I'd personally try at lower resolutions, but other than minor quality flaws they would be ok for me.

    In the original, the subject was too high. I lowered it, so I'm interested to see how far off-centre it now is (and the direction).

    As an aside, are there any plans to change the guidelines for resubmission regarding subjectivity; specifically a rejection reason not present in the original submission appearing in the resubmission despite no changes made to the image?
    Slightly hi, but centering is fine for me. Very slight halos, but also wouldn't have been an issue for me.

    Hi,

    I submitted this and it got rejected for centring and part of aircraft cut off. I've reviewed it and I can't see the reason for either rejection. I've compared it with similar images I've had accepted and the framing is the same. Regarding the centring, its the same as other images.

    Prior to appealing, I wanted to check your thoughts in case there is something I missed regarding these two points.

    Cheers
    Crop seems ok to me as well, but it is subjective so I can't guarantee everyone would agree should you decide to appeal.

    On this subject, I'm experimenting with this image and looking for your observations.
    Contrast is not great, and might be some issues with sharpening: soft in spots, oversharpened in others.

    It is tricky, and I can tell you far more of such images get rejected than accepted. The best advice I can give it start with the largest file size possible so that you can shrink it down to hide most (if not all) of the flaws. Going from 7000+ pix to 1200 (or fewer) will do quite a lot to hide any quality issues.

    Other than that, finding the right balance of ISO vs. shutter speed it personal preference, though you at least have a chance to 'fix' a noisy image, while a blurry image can't really have anything done to improve it.
