Pre-screening Help

[bgkicks49]

Hello pre-screening team, I am looking for feedback on this airport overview photo that I took when flying home a few days ago of Edwards Air Force Base. I am hoping that my contrast, exposure, and lighting are sufficient and also that there are not any issues with horizon or haze. I know that taking photos out of a plane window are all dependent on the state of the window with spots/scratches so I am hoping that this photo will meet all the criteria. Please let me know if you see any concerns and would love if you brought them to my attention. Thank you.

Looking for feedback on this photo. Having trouble with leveling the horizon because the vertical points are all over the place and not sure how to approach it. This is what I have come up with so far. Thanks for your help in advance. If you see any other issues with contrast, exposure or if the crop is questionable, I would appreciate it if you brought it to my attention.

Don't see anything that would tell me that the horizon is significantly off, so would be ok for me.

Looking for feedback. In need of advice for this photo in regards to exposure, horizon, sharpness and color. Hoping that color/white balance are sufficient. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Oversharpened, and the glare from the lights is somewhat distracting.

Crop is ok for me, so that just comes down to personal taste. I do agree the quality is not quite there for 1600 pix. 1280 (or lower) would be a safer bet.

Roger, thank you for your input. I will attempt one more time at a lower pixel size.

Good morning pre-screen team. I had previously posted a rejection link concerning the close-up of the Gulfstream G550. It was again rejected for soft and cut-off. I know that it was previously mentioned that crop was untidy so I tightened crop and exported at 1600px since it was also mentioned that there mightve been some haze. Would appreciate some input as to what else I would need to do or just scrap this pic altogether. Thanks in advance

Would the slight halos cause a rejection Dana?

Probably.

Exposure and centering look ok to me; slight haloing visible.

With this photo I am asking for advice/guidance on whether this fits the mold for an acceptable JP photo. Would this photo have any issues with being overprocessed? Also, does this have any issues with being underexposed and of course is the centering an issues.

1) Overprocessed (any halos visible), Under-exposed, and centering



Thank you in advance

So I went ahead and re-edited the photo to add a small amount of sharpness and tightened the crop just a smidge in order to eliminate the possibility of having too much dead space. Would this be a more favorable photo in terms of the 1920px ratio or would this be more ideal at a smaller px size?

I would definitely try a lower resolution than 1920pix. I don't think you're going to be able to hide the softness/heat haze at 1920.

Someone's personal taste I guess. Crop is ok for me, maybe a bit 'untidy' but not enough for a rejection. I'd hazard a guess it would be ok for most of the crew as well, so I wouldn't fret about it too much.

Good afternoon pre-screening crew. I recently had a rejection that I would like some clarification on in regards to the 'cut-off' rejection. I know that certain cropping techniques can be perceived as subjective in terms of a photo being rejected or accepted and I wanted to get some specifics as to why this photo was rejected. I also know that I can fix the softness by potentially adding some sharpness.

Below is the rejection link. Thank you in advance for your suggestions/insight.
