Why your pictures have JP bar on the bottom?
Please do not ask for advice when pics are already in queue.
They will be screened as per normal process.

There are rejected photos. Disregard the bar under the pictures.

Please present the rejected pics as JP links then. It would help screeners to check your rejections and advise.

I’m not a screener, but all 3 lack contrast, as shown by the lack of dark tones (presence on the left) on the histogram. The last two photos also seem backlit to me

In all three images, the sky is brighter than the foreground subject (aircraft), in fact the third one actually looks backlit. This will almost always result in a rejection for contrast, and is not something that is easily fixable with editing. Better to consider your shooting position and the light conditions the next time you are out taking pictures.

Thanks, klaxspotting. I try add more black for B photo. Backlit is not a reason for rejection B and C photos.

Thanks for your advice, dlowwa. Are the "sky brighter than the foreground" light conditions has no chance for acceptance?

I won't say no chance (and silhouette type images are a different story), but it would be very difficult in most situations.

Thanks guys.
