I see you have already uploaded the images, in which case I will simply tell you that they will all be immediately rejected when they are screened. If you would like more feedback please remove them from the queue, as we usually don't comment on images already in the queue.

I will remove them from the queue, may I have some advice on what to change?

Ok, the first issue is you are not shooting in ideal conditions. Shooting through windows will always cause an immediate degradation in the quality of your images. Second, taking images at a distance (like the last one) will cause other factors like heat haze to further degrade quality. Next, you should look through the database for similar images to get a better idea about things like composition and framing. Cutting off random parts of the aircraft, or having it obstructed by other objects is not generally accepted here. Finally, you will usually need to do a little editing to clean up your images before submitting them, fixing things like level, color, or any of the other issues mentioned above.

Shooting with a compact superzoom like your Nikon L840 will not make it impossible to get images accepted, but you will need to be very careful about the conditions to ensure you're always shooting in optimal situations if you're hoping to have your images accepted here (i.e. no window glass between you and aircraft, be as close as possible, with strong light, etc..). With that in mind, your images would be rejected for the following reasons:

1. color, compression, noise, soft, centering, contrast, glare
2. color, compression, noise, soft, centering, glare, cut off, obstruction
3. color, compression, soft, obstruction
4. soft, compression, heat haze, centering, contrast, backlit

#3 is still in the queue. If you wouldn't mind removing it; otherwise I can do it for you. If you have any other questions, of course feel free to ask.
