Both of them have high chances of being rejected.
1) too far away

1. Check the settings in the camera. They have to be set to the highest possible quality, no compression
2. only save a photo once, after all the editing. Every time you save a JPG file, the photo is compressed.
3. when saving, make again sure to use the highest possible quality setting, i.e. no compression
4. avoid any noise reducer, as they tend to produce jagged lines looking like compression

The photo has to meet our requirements for size ratio (between 4:3 and 16:9). This one doesn't....

The chopped off rotor kills it in my opinion....

[LX-A343]

Correct! #1 needs Night Shot category....

[LX-A343]

I like #1 and #3 and would accept them. #2 is borderline overexposed....

SQ and TG are lacking contrast, mainly dark midtones and shadows. The Silkair is the best of them, but still a bit borderline regarding contrast....

[LX-A343]

That is too dark....

[LX-A343]

Mostly because we reject most of them . But some sneak through....

I would accept it....

Only the SQ might have a slight chance....

Of course, you do alter an original photo from the camera to get the file you upload. But the final result shouldn't have anything, which isn't in the original photo. Things like gradients or HDR or others can alter the photo simply too much....

[LX-A343]

No, that's OK...

If you mean you just uploaded this photo and it is waiting in the queue, then we will screen it, when it appears in the screening page. If you want us to pre-screen it, please post it BEFORE actually uploading it. Everything else is like jumping the queue....

There is no general rule and a Cessna 172 is not really something rare. But for a better answer, I suggest you post the photo here.

Lacks contrast and is underexposed....
