I've got this hot photo of a Mig 15 in a hangar, it was being held up by those pallets which are slightly obstructing the fuselage, would this be rejected for that?

In this case since it is quite unavoidable (and there are no other unobstructed images in the DB) it should be acceptable, although the aircraft is quite soft towards the nose due to the low depth of field. If you have a different image where the whole aircraft is sharp/in focus, just leave a note about the obstruction being unavoidable if you decide to upload.

Grass obstruction

I'm guessing that grass obstructing the main gear like this would be enough for a rejection, but looking for a second opinion.

Unless it is a new reg. for which there may be some leeway, yes this is an obstruction rejection.

Not sure if this photo is sharp enough, plus with the sun glaring on the fuselage being slightly overexposed (can't be fixed). Would it be acceptable?

Sharpness would be ok for me, but I would consider it borderline for contrast/glare.

Would this be low contrast?

Yes, low/poor contrast (also soft). Probably not fixable.

Thought so, thanks. How about this one, with sun reflecting on the tail?

Front of the aircraft is so soft it's almost blurry, so the reflection doesn't really matter.

Yeah, since it was such a cold morning the heat haze from the jets was accentuated.

Would this photo be too similar to https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9120131?

No, different side is ok.

Yay, thanks
