Prescreen advice?

Noob composition question: can I cut a little part of the horizontal stabilizer off? If I leave it in the frame, there is a lot of "empty" place on the right side of the photo and the plane itself gets smaller.
Cut off:
The tip of the stabilizer is in the frame:

Seems like it is actually cut in both. In any case, better not to cut it at all.

Hello! Is contrast here good?

Hello.

Images are fine for me!

Does this photo have an acceptable composition? Or it would be rejected for a vertical stabilizer being too high?

Composition is completely fine!

Centering is acceptable; the horizon is not.

These photos were rejected for being unsharpened (soft). Are they acceptable now?

Would be acceptable for me.

Would be acceptable for me.

Thanks! Also, I feel really awkward to post lots of photos with similar issues (contrast/halos). Are there any tools in PS or Lightroom to check them (contrast level/are halos present)? I don't trust my eyesight and monitor (not the newest one) — the only thing left is to play a lottery "did I get it right this time"?..

Contrast can't really be checked that way since a lot of the time it's subjective, and tools like the histogram measure the whole frame, while we are mostly concerned about the aircraft only. Unless extremely strong, halos usually only show up against blue sky, so not worth checking for images on the ground. Horizon is also more of a subjective thing, so you'll just need to rely on your own eyes

I have lots of images like this one (taken under the glideslope) I want to upload. 3 in a row were rejected for halos — that's why I asked how to check them.

Can I upload this photo with a ground crew member in it or it would be rejected for "objects"? Is the editing good? I especially want to upload this exact picture (although I have another photo without a crew member in it) to show the size of a "small" airliner compared to a person...
Second picture a long ago was rejected for oversaturation/bad colors. Is it acceptable now?
Thanks!

Both look like they might be slightly overexposed, but would otherwise be ok for me.

Tried to edit my photos in another way (5 in a row rejected for contrast too low). Is this edit better or worse?

Borderline contrast on second (fuselage should be white, not grey), but first would be acceptable for me.
