RobertLN - prescreening request

[dlowwa]

Hey there, I took some sunrise shots, would these be considered backlit? Any other issues with the images? Thanks a lot for your time [ATTACH=CONFIG]25022[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]25023[/ATTACH]

Yes, those are both backlit.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]24722[/ATTACH] I added 0.2 CW Rotation in Lightroom. Would that be okay now? Thanks

Levelling would be ok for me.

Ok thanks for your time. I used the chimneys as vertical reference and using your horizon checker I can see that they are almost perfectly parallel to the yellow grid lines. The image horizon must be therefore perpendicular to them and so parallel to the real horizon. I want to know if my approach is not correct and if I am doing something systematically wrong. Thanks again, much appreciated. [ATTACH=CONFIG]24718[/ATTACH]

Better to use the buildings themselves, but honestly, the horizon check function is not that reliable for very short vertical references like that because the way pixel extrapolation works at such a low resolution will make almost anything look straight.

Yesterday I got a rejection which I still dont understand. Appeal got rejected. 'Needs clockwise rotation, everything is leaning to the left'. Thoughts about this? I disagree that everything is leaning to the left. I see much worse on the DB and I know thats not a valid argument here. I still find it frustrating. No chance for a late approval? Thanks for your time

I will be the fourth senior screener to look at this (two original screeners, plus one who handled the appeal) and I also agree there is a slight lean to the left with the background verticals. A small amount of CW rotation should fix this.

Thanks a ton! I have learned so much and I have finally somewhat of a success here on this site. I got 4 more for prescreen ( specially in regards to contrast). Thanks [ATTACH=CONFIG]24623[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]24624[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]24625[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]24626[/ATTACH]

1. contrast
2-3 ok
4. borderline dark

Thank you for the feedback so far! I learned a lot. I took some new ones. How are these? [ATTACH=CONFIG]24398[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]24399[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]24400[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]24401[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]24402[/ATTACH]

Slight red cast on 1-3 & 5; 4 has editing halos visible.

Hey there, I have some more photos I would like to have some feedback on. Thank you! [ATTACH=CONFIG]24300[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]24301[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]24302[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]24303[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]24304[/ATTACH]

Borderline contrast/heat haze on a couple of them, but would all be ok for me.

Swiss is backlit and 757 maybe needs a bit of CCW rotation. Rest looks ok
