Yeah, that's quite fair. It was pretty flat hazy light and almost tail-lit. I'll wait until I have a wide open queue and then might give it a shot. Thanks!

Hi all, back for another round of pre-screening after waiting for my queue to clear slightly and university work to subside a bit. Thanks!

1. borderline contrast
2-4 borderline heat haze
5. ok

[PrestonFiedler]

Thanks Dana. I'll bump the contrast on the FR and downsize the others to minimize the effects of the haze.

Here are a few more, back after a bit of a break, university got busier. Thanks!

A bit dark, but otherwise ok.

[PrestonFiedler]

Thanks Dana, are they all appearing dark? I was thinking 1&3 but I want to make sure I make the correct adjustments. And is it more of a midtones/shadows adjustment or overall exposure? Thanks!

Yes.

Overall.

[PrestonFiedler]

Thanks Dana, adjusted those and they're now in the queue. Here's a few more I'd like to get feedback on.

These would be ok for me.

Thanks Dana, I'll go ahead and queue them once I have daily uploads available.

Hi all,

This has been rejected twice for color, and frankly I'm a bit lost on this one. I also missed a category, but I'll wait for the email to see what's supposedlty missing from that.

Green-ish cast (check WB settings), not being helped by the poor contrast. This is a business jet, so you should select category 'Business Jet'.

[PrestonFiedler]

Thanks Dana, attempted to correct the color again. I know the contrast isn't great and its not fantastic light, but with it being a pretty rare subject I decided to shoot it anyways. I'll be sure to select business jet. Does this look better?

Better, but still borderline for contrast/color. Might be acceptable being a new reg., but can't promise.
