Exposure acceptable for me. Softness issue remains.

Another shot here, not sure if should just be thrown away

1 looks slightly blurry (titles, nose)
2, 3 OK
4 angle OK, but the chopped off stab looks too weird.

Done some localised sharpening

Shame it was chopped off in the original photo

1. contrast, soft/heat haze
2. contrast, soft
3. contrast
4. centering, contrast, soft/heat haze
5. centering, contrast, soft

#2 is the only one that appears possibly fixable; the rest I would not bother with.

Unfortunately no, maybe even worse. Perhaps the quality is not there for this one either.

Oh well it was worth the shot, those 5 were from my first ever spotting trip so I'm not totally surprised, thanks anyways though.

These two rejected today

1. Too much/little contrast

I assume it was too much contrast so here's the rejected one Reduced contrast:

2. Undersharpened (Soft), Part of aircraft cut off, Vignetting not allowed

Original Sharpened, I think there is a mistake for the part of aircraft cut off because what looks like the right horizontal stabiliser is actually the wing of the EK A380 behind it. De-Vignetted

First looks fine, but second not so much. The softness looks like it's due to NR or some other compression inducing effect, and more sharpening doesn't really help.

Doesn't look great on the front to be honest. Should I appeal the first one?
