Hello, can you provide the exif for the image you posted? It's currently not available according to the exif brower attachment I'm looking at. The exif info seems to have been removed or not posted. That would be a good start....

There are a selection of screening tools available once you have submitted your photo to the queue, including a centering tool which you can use to check your centering. You can always delete the photo from the queue before it gets screened.

This is how I do my centering at the cropping stage. I use Photoshop for my cropping. You can see I have rotated the image. I have my crop box set up as a 3 x 3 box with a center point showing. Then I place the aircraft fuselage into the middle line of boxes and move it about until I'm happy, then crop. Ignore the dust spots, they get removed after the crop stage.

It's a pretty decent effort but unfortunately the heat haze has killed it. This is one for your personal collection....

For a summer lit photo I think this is quite acceptable from my perspective....

With harsh summer lighting, when the top of the fuselage is lit, the bottom is darker you're more likely to receive a contrast rejection than backlit. The first indicator we look at in this situation is the tail. If the tail is in shadow then that will most likely get you a backlit rejection. In your case the tail is well lit and whilst the underside is darker than the top it's pretty allowable for what we would see in harsh summer lighting so I would accept your lighting on that basis....

So, at the end of the day, it's still compression

We do try to add in comments for all appeals where possible but sometimes it's just blatently obvious. It's a box that's permanently active on the appeals page, so if we don't enter any comments you will still get the "admin comments" title....

Wrong thread, sorry....

I still can't believe that you can't accept our opinion that it is compression. The blocks visible are square. This is digital. How does your "lighting issue" create digitally square perfect pixels? Would love to see your links on the web to prove your theory. Maybe we are wrong, so this is your time to prove it to us.

Hi, frustrating for you but the last photo of YL-IES was accepted into the database in 2018 when we probably didn't focus on GA airline names as much as we do today. In order to make the database correct as possible these days we are much stricter especially when the name is on the fuselage. The YL-IES photos could do with a correction submitted to the correct airline name and since there have been no recent additions it hasn't been brought to our attention until now. As always when you upload, it is the uploader's responsibility to make sure they submit the correct information.

Hope this helps.
