Yes, Airport Overview, but since there is really not much to see, there is a good chance it would be a motive rejection.

Thanks Dana, will skip this one.

Hello to the team,
Should I post the picture attached as an airport overview, as it concentrate mostly on the building and the gate ?
Regards,
Ike

Pilots are not considered under the motive rule, so allowable. Image his quite soft, however.

Thanks, Dana,
Will try to work this out.

Hello to the team.
Wonder if this picture would be rejected for violating JP rules according to section 3.4.3 Motive ?
Or it may be passed as the pilot's face are "covered" with sun-glasses microphone and headphones?

This A/C Dreamliner picture was rejected for Overexposed,Undersharpened (Soft), Bad Color (Over/Under Saturation, Hue) . Appealed and rejected again.
On the "comment to the screener" section, I indicated it was a hazy day. Light condition rapidly changed and indeed it has a yellowish tone on the backdrop.
What a miss...
Any chance for a re-assessment?

TO LX-A343,
You were definitely right when critisized my MSG. Already sent a personal MSG with an appology to the person it was directed to.

And to further clarify about the issue, just few months ago I realized I was limited to 1280 pixels when posting photos. Consequence to that, immediately I had an unusual number of "JPEG Compression" rejections, apparently due to this limit, to my opinion.

I do not work with Photoshop, use Canon-DPP, and tried to elaborate on this with Canon experts in the USA and England - but to no avail.
That is the reason for my disappointmen, and when told "not to blame the site" - I was very angry, because I did not get an answer on the appeals for that and other rejections, just a simple reply "appeal rejected".
I now decided to refrain from posting new pictures on JP, for an undisclosed period of time, and again my appologies to whome offended by my words.
Sincerely,
Ike Harel

2. To oplu7: Photoshop is not mandatory software on JP. I use Canon-DPP software.
3. To Alex: You addressed my notes and not the issue. How slight JPEG Compression is acceptable, as always there may be a compression to a certain extent as of any upload.
I once kept the Equalized original's for learning reasons - and saw where there was a real compression, and where actually not. Than according to those - I did cancel some posts as a result of compression realized. Being with more than 50 years of photography ( I am 65 and hold a camera since 13) you can trust me that I do not speak without judguing words.
Please reconsider the issue, and please again - not my written words.
Sincerely, with regard to all members reading this,

I am just addressing this bit here: "How slight JPEG Compression is acceptable, as always there may be a compression to a certain extent as of any upload." There is no exact indicator for JPG compression. If the edges are fuzzy, large areas of one colour (e. g. sky) are too blotchy, then we will more likely reject it.

And just one word of advice: read your messages to others twice, before sending them. How would you react if you got these messages you wrote in your appeals?

Doing this, in the few minutes of screening, did not take into account the effort forany photographer contributing to the site, time invested and distance traveled to await for the plane for the perfect moment, than a long queue of 9 days.

There's one very important thing you need to realise, before being screeners we're all photographers and we know how too well the hobby. We went through all that and for a very long time for the vast majority of us.

The compression on this picture is a very easy fix and I really suggest you take a very deep breath. This is taken from your appeal message. This is simply outrageous, its been sometimes that I feel JP screening had became harsh, unfrirendly to amatur photographers like myself, rejecting few good photos of mine. Its like a sign hanging over my account saying "reject photos of this guy..." - Do you realise how far this is going ? It's just a rejection, just a hobby. And yes. maybe you don't realise it but it is really blaming us for your mistake, nothing else.


And if 9 days is too much of a wait, we're really sorry that the team working on their free time for your pleasure can't satisfy your urgent need to see your picture published. We're really doing our best but well...

Sincerely
Alex

When you equalize the photo, you can see the sky is covered in little squares as a result of JPEG compression.

Remember that you can get rid of JPEG compression in photoshop and so, like a "soft" rejection, you just have to go back and sort it out!

Could you please link the rejected picture? (not attached one)

JEPG compression rejection

Hello,
Picture no. 6570582 of Silkway Boeing 747-400F registration 4K-SW008 was rejected for “JPEG Compression” , appealed and rejected yet again.First, let me say that there is always be a result with compression at some level when taking planes pictures while in motion, due to the fact that it has to meetother criteria like being balanced within the frame, both horizontally and vertically.The compression on this picture is mostly invisible, and the plane came perfectly within the frame, vividly lit and in fine contrast and sharpness.The screener who rejected this went an extra-mile when screening.(and please don’t tell me I blame the JP site for my mistakes). Doing this, in the few minutes of screening, did not take into account the effort forany photographer contributing to the site, time invested and distance traveled to await for the plane for the perfect moment, than a long queue of 9 days.I can understand and accept reasons for not accepting photos, but this was in extra scrutiny.Do not judge me for being disappointed – it was an unjust rejection.
I will be glad for re-consideration of this picture.
Sincerely
Ike Harel

Hi Julian and thanks for your reply.
I process all my photos with Canon DPP and use the masks. It doe's not happened in all the photos processed, and I always do the same technique and steps. So I do not think this is the reason.
Good evening,
Ike
