(arora7dm) - prescreening request / editing advice

[dlowwa]

Happy New Year. Thoughts about these? I used DX crop and F13, so I am hoping vignetting is taken care of. Maybe soft / grainy?

These would be rejected for similar.

Thank you.. One quick question (not sure if this is the right forum). Do Korean Air and Korean Air Cargo count as 2 separate airlines for say "photographed 25 airlines badge"?

[dlowwa]

Thanks again. I have removed certain images and have made adjustments to certain others. Please advise.

1. ok for me
2-3. horizon (need a little CW)

Thank you for the review! Please see adjusted images for all but the 1st one. Also, the Ana one I had posted earlier, but couldn't get rid of vignetting. But now I tried the Nikon's software. Please let me know your thoughts on that.

1. very bad overprocessing
2. centering
3. contrast, obstruction
4. horizon, vignetting
5. borderline centering.

Yes, this vignetting is a consistent issue as all of my images seem to have it. In particular, this Sigma 100-400 lens combination with a FX sensor. Based on the suggestion from dlowwa on this thread, https://forums.jetphotos.com/forum/a...35#post1103335
I am going to use f11 or higher in the future. And I am going to try the DX mode in my camera to see if that helps too. I think it should help, but cannot find any proof on it, on the web. Anyway, I tried to fix some of the images (though 1-3 may go into over-processing issue), please let me know thoughts. Also added a few new images.

1-2. vignetting
3 & 5. borderline soft
4. centering

One quick question - in my mind the difference between borderline soft (actually anything like contrast, horizon etc.) vs. soft is that former can be fixed by proper editing, while latter cannot. Is that right thinking?

No, borderline simply means it may or may not be accepted. Not 'borderline' means it certainly won't be accepted.

Thank you as always.

Thank you again. Giving up on these last 3 and instead these new ones. Please let me know the thinking..

1. vignetting, dirty
2-3. vignetting
4. borderline soft
5. ok for me

4-5 also have some vignetting, but it's much less noticeable against that kind of background.
