    Unsightly, but technically not obstruction.

        • Could you be a bit more helpful please....Poor quality in what regard? - Is there too much noise for this size? - picture not sharp enough? - would it be better at say 1280, like this?

            Much too soft/blurry for 1920. Even at 1280 still kind of soft. Looks like a significant crop + heat haze causing the issue(s).

            • IS this motive acceptable? - i.e. the trucks in front not causing an obstruction rejection?

                Motive is fine.

                • Just had this one rejected because I didn't include position of this spotting point in the remarks box - Photo otherwise acceptable from what I can make out.... Question.... Could I have this photo accepted into the database and I'll immediately update remarks box with details of position and description of location - never had a rejection based on the remarks alone before - should I appeal to this effect, and I'll add the remarks in right away? - Many thanks.

                    Please read here:

                    3.4.2 Spotting location



                    You will need to re-submit the photo with appropriate remarks/description.

                        Not sure why this would be considered creative; I am relatively sure however that it would be rejected for contrast, dirty, and maybe soft.

                        • Can i just check my understanding of the 'aircraft cut-off' rules.... these photos below would not be rejected for 'cut-off', would they? the full body is included, and although tail fin is cut-off this is acceptable - am I correct? - Many thanks.

                            These are both pretty poorly cropped. Either give them a wider crop to avoid cutting the stab., or crop much tighter to the engines. Both would definitely be rejections for me.

                            • Just had this one rejected... For unsharpened, over-processed and heat haze.

                              Couple of questions...

                              1. photo already sharpened almost to the max. - surely picture looks adeuately sharp?
                              2. Heat haze is only near runway surface, and not affecting any part of the aircraft - surely that would be permitted as its not affecting the aircraft itself?
                              3. Overprocessed - I can;t see any halos including when looking at the 'check for dust' tool - what are the signs here of overprocessing?

                              if picture reduced down to 1280px, is this likely to overcome the above issues?

                              Many thanks, I'm almost up to approaching 100 pics in the databse - it is so so addictive!

                                Surely not, else it would not have been rejected.

                                Affecting most of the aircraft actually. Look at how soft the gear, the nose, etc.. are. That's mostly due to the haze.

                                There are some slight halos visible, but really they are insignificant compared to the other issues. If the other issues were not present, I doubt it would have been rejected for processing alone.

                                Possibly, but not probably.
