Dylan Phelps - Editing Advice

[777MAN]

Hi Dylan

I rejected the first image, obvious editing halos

Last one looks better , go down to say 1200 and sharpen
All the best . T

Thanks for the response dlowwa.

Added a smidge of brightness & contrast.

Better, but softness is more evident. Add some sharpening and try at a lower resolution.

Is this too dark/underexposed, or does it look better?

Halos are less evident, but it does need brightening, and also a bit more contrast.

Hello,

I have had the following photo of the Turkish F-35 rejected twice for "too much/too little contrast" and "over processing."


Could someone please lead me in the right direction on how to properly edit this photo?

Oops! I selected the wrong pic. Either way, I'll reupload with the 1200 pix one once Taos Air is added. Thanks again.

Thanks for the advice. I'm still working on my post abilities.

Here is the same pic (1280 pix) with more sharpening.

*1786 pix

And here is the pic with a little extra sharpening but at 1200 pix.

1200 pix definitely better.

Still borderline. I would suggest a lower resolution (like 1200pix) if you want to increase your chances.

Thanks for the advice, dlowwa.

I applied to CCW. Here's what it looks like now. I'll now be waiting for Taos Air to be added.

Looks a bit soft, but horizon should be ok.

I didn't select any categories. Which one applies to this? Should I have added that it's a business jet, even though it's operating as an airline?

Should be Night Shot.

I need assistance on what to use for a horizon reference.

All references (vertical + horizontal) are leaning right = needs CCW rotation.

Also, I am confused on how the airline info is bad. Taos Air (opb Ultimate Jet Charters, which is what I used) is not in the database yet. I did submit it. Should I wait for it to be added first?

Yes.

Thanks for the response, dlowwa.

I have a new one for you guys:



Reason(s) For Rejection:
- Horizon unlevel
- Categories wrong or missing
- Bad Info in the following field(s): Airline

I didn't select any categories. Which one applies to this? Should I have added that it's a business jet, even though it's operating as an airline? Confused.
