    Might. Might not. Can't really speculate on an image I can't see.

    You could try, but higher resolutions always make flaws more obvious.

    This image is much too soft for 1920pix. Compression should not be an issue.
    Hi Dana,

    Apologize for the double thread; tried looking if I had done one but was unsure. Thanks for merging them.

    Ok, so a 1600px upload might make it through? Always get worried about how they looked equalized as there is all sorts of stuff going on that the naked eye can't see.

    Maybe re-working the sharpness part to try and upload 1920?

    Thanks!

    Thanks. I just always wonder when I get that rejection reason if it's either too much or too little. Maybe that rejection reason should be split in two.

    Thanks for the input.

    Nice. Just be prepared for the fact that such images are generally harder to get accepted.

    'Interesting' for you, but it's rather subjective, wouldn't you say?

    JetPhotos.com is the biggest database of aviation photographs with over 5 million screened photos online!


    It would also help if it was explained if its too much OR too little contrast.

    Thanks!

    Hi JP,

    Could I get some feedback on this rejection:



    Thanks!
    Nose area is soft/blurry, and contrast is poor due to overcast conditions.

    Actually you can only work on the plane with lightroom or camra raw tools. With raw camera, which I use, using the adjustment brush. Sometimes I use it to adjust shadows

    Hi there. Unfortunately from my perspective it doesn't look like there is much you can do to get this image to be accepted. My advice is to get other shots with better lighting.

    Copy that, back to the drawing board then. I will upload a new edit once I'm done again. Thanks!

    Thanks so much for your reply, I appreciate it.

    I have been playing around with the RAW and got to this result, the sky may be too dark but I believe there is much better contrast and maybe a little more tweaking and I can get an acceptable shot, let me know what you think about it.
