Pre-screening Help

[dlowwa]

So I wanted to wait until I got the rejection email to see if there were any screener comments concerning which parts of the photo were soft after I took your advice Dana and applied additional USM to the photo that you provided feedback on in the most recent post in this thread. Looking for guidance as to which aspect of the photo is soft and if there are any tips/suggestions you can provide before I officially appeal through the proper channels. I really thought with my additional sharpening that it would make it more acceptable, but clearly it did not, and that is why I am reaching out. Just looking for some clarity and thank you in advance.

Not sure why you would appeal.. I told you it was still soft.. but that's your call. Big hints are the fine details all look soft (serial, titles, around cockpit). If you want an idea of how fixable it may (or may not) be, post a 100% crop of one of those areas.

Would this be an acceptable photo for JP? I am looking for guidance as to whether the color is sufficient, contrast is good enough, and if there are any soft or undersharpened areas of the photo. If there are any other aspects that I missed, I would appreciate you bringing it to my attention. Thank you.

Looks a bit soft, but otherwise ok for me.

Would there be any issues with this photo in regards to contrast, exposure, sharpness/soft, and if there is any visible heat haze. Taking a chance with this photo, but I would appreciate a second opinion. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and we appreciate everything that you do! Cheers!

Angle seems a bit steep, no? Pretty sure you'd get a stall with that AOA.. Quality looks mostly acceptable otherwise.

This one was a bit puzzling to me and I am looking for a bit more of an explanation before I appealed officially. I was hoping to get a more clear explanation as to which parts of the photo are over/undersaturated. I white balanced like I normally would and set vibrance and saturation low like I have done with my past photos. Any further advice/constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

There's a slight red tint, but would have been ok for me.

Dana, I appreciate the feedback. Unfortunately I am receiving this error message when trying to upload this photo. Any insight as to why I am receiving this message when it says that the minimum size requirements are 576px for the short side?

Not sure.. that image is within the accepted size ratios. Other images are ok? Maybe try the same image at a different resolution?

Looking for feedback for this photo:

One thing I am worried about is that there might be heat haze. If you see any other issues, I would appreciate you bringing them to my attention.

Would be ok for me.

Taking a chance with a different aspect of a helicopter I do not normally see and I am looking for some guidance for this photo: Would you see any issues with this crop? Are there any issues with it being a belly photo? Any contrast or exposure issues? There is a bit of a tighter crop than I normally have and would like to see if you see any jpeg compression issues? If you see any other items I may have missed, please let me know. Thank you in advance

Soft and borderline contrast, will depend on the screener for the latter, since most of the helicopter visible is in shadow.

Thank you for the feedback Dana. Does this re-edit fix the contrast and horizon issues or at least make them more satisfactory?

Probably not going to be able to get much better out of it, but still borderline at best.
