Better, but both still borderline for contrast/horizon and overexposed, respectively.

how do you find out that it's not level?

Look at the background verticals. Typically they should be vertical, not leaning.

hello i have just 1 re-edited photo and i used your advise, unfortunately the gulfstream g-v i'm not able to use cause when i leveled it the wing tip got cut off

but here's the other photo i bumped up the contrast from 45 to 60 and leveled it with one of the building walls in the background. so just wanted to know if this is level now. also sorry for posting 1 to 2 images at a time ill post 5 images next time just so you don't have to keep coming back to this post

Needs a bit more CW, but also soft and borderline contrast.

#4 might need a touch more CCW, but otherwise they are ok for me.

hello guys just got a photo rejected for three reasons- bad info, bad composition and to little or to much contrast https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=7444283 while i do agree with 2 reasons, bad info (forgot to put in serial number) and bad composition i'm not sure how much more contrast i need, is it just a little more or way more? so if someone can answer this question i would appreciate it.

also while i'm at it can i get these two photos prescreened thank you

I've mentioned this before, so please take heed of the advice: don't use ProPhoto color space. sRGB will lead to far fewer issues with color/contrast, though the light is not that great in any case. Any future problems with contrast I'm not going to comment on unless you remedy this issue.

No major issues for me.

All three very likely to be rejected for contrast due to the poor light, so not much you can do to 'improve' them.
