ErmakDimon - Prescreen

[Alex - Spot-This !]

IMO the 1st one is still lacking contrat.
As for the night shot there's nothing you can do to improve such a blurry picture (see tail and wing)

[ErmakDimon]

1: soft, borderline lacking contrast, maybe fixable
2-4: blurry, noisy, hardly fixable
5: obstructed

Hi, thanks for the quick reply!
I edited #1. Is it better now?
As for #3, would this one be better?
I understand the night shots are really noisy but there's nothing I could do about it, I had to set the aperture all the way down to 5.6 and ISO up to 1600 to have some sort of decent still photo instead of a blurry set of lights.

Thanks! A lot more noise than I anticipated but I think I did well

Too much or too little?

Poor contrast due to overcast conditions. Not fixable by adding or reducing contrast.

[ErmakDimon]

Both would be rejected for contrast.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply! Yep, weather is horrible most of the time, cons of living in St Petersburg I guess...

I edited 3 and 5 according to your advice. Are they any better now?

1 will be very hard to fix, if able, still bad contrast, but it is not your fault, is the weather which does not help

2 borderline

3 dark

4 blurry soft

5 Dark, contrast

Hi, I took a bunch that got rejected today for dark and contrast. Please let me know if these are better.

I understand it’s due to the excess amounts of light (sun reflections) in that area? Is there a way to fix it digitally?

No, without seeing the original, my best guess is that it's due to a combination of heat haze and lens softness. This is not fixable.

[ErmakDimon]

Agree not quite backlit, but whole left side is quite soft, almost blurry. Also needs CW rotation.

Hi, I'm really lost with this one:

https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=6991321

It's one of the sharpest photos in the series and gets rejected for soft

Also could anyone clear this up to me, I don't quite understand how it's backlit either? The sun is reflecting off the fuselage near the horizontal stabilizer, surely it isn't in the shadow
