ThatOneFish- Prescreening/Editing Advice

[dlowwa]

I'll try my chances with 1.
How's the contrast, it seems flat now.

Still borderline dark/contrast.

and this was rejected for noise

worth an appeal?

Not really.

1. borderline oversharpened/centering
2. yes, too dark/harshly contrasted

Hello, may I have a prescreen?

2. yes, too dark/harshly contrasted

Hello, may I have a prescreen?

Also this was rejected for contrast: is it too harsh now?

Thanks.

Don't think any of these will be acceptable. First two are quite noisy (not to mention terrible angles), in the last the foreground is completely in shadow.

Thanks, I was surprised how noisy 1 and 2 actually became, I was shooting at iso 160, but it got noticeable due to the cropping.

Hopefully compression does not happen to this one,
how is softness/contrast now?

And if possible how are these:

This was rejected: https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=7690701, are sharpness, darkness, contrast fixed?

Only the last one wouldn't be an immediate rejection, though the angle is rather unattractive. Can't really tell if the quality is there due to the compression, unfortunately, but can confirm the compression was applied when uploading to the forum.

Thanks again.

I’ll ditch the Philippine shots, I don’t think I can fix the contrast due to overcast skies.

do you think that 4 is fixable (contrast) due to lack of light from very late sunset?

I feel like 5 is the only one fixable.

also, I did notice the compression when uploading, I don’t see it occurring in photoshop.

thanks.

I'm glad the forum is back, may I have a prescreen,
worried about softness on all, as well as contrast on 1-4
thanks.

All images have issues with color, contrast, softness, and compression, although the latter seems to be a result of the new forum settings.

Thanks, I think I'll save them as I feel like I can't get them up to sharp.I think I'm under my 5 for 24hours, how is this one: too soft/heathazed as well?

Would be ok for me.

[ThatOneFish]

Both still soft, especially towards the tail.

How about now, I sharpened them way more than I'm used to. Thanks.
