Multiple rejection syndrome (will trade remaining dignity for photo help)

[Sommattlier]

I don’t have much online presence, especially for a 20-something, which has perhaps amplified the pain I felt after a third rejection of a photo I thought was good or at least perfectly acceptable. Here's how it went:

1st attempt - Too much or too little contrast

It's flat. Got it. So I adjusted levels to add more pop.

2nd attempt - Too much or too little contrast + Bad framing

I guess I over-did the contrast. Highlights too pumped? I'll bring those down. Also now screeners tell me they don't like how it's centered. Fine. I can fix that. I read all the forums, posts, and blogs to make sure I know what boxes to check.

3rd attempt - Too much or too little contrast + Over processed/bad processing


Now I'm reconsidering my experience of reality. I've run through the checklist: no haze, no blur, meticulously centered, everything else is Goldilocks. The over-processed tag hurt the most after my attempts to devine...

Hello,

I recently uploaded five photos to the database as a hot photo. These photos were all rejected for "invalid hot" even though the first appearance of the registrations was last night, just now around 24 hours ago. Should I appeal these for following the 48 hour rule?

Hello everyone! I have uploaded this photo on the Jetphotos, but it got rejected. One of the reasons was too much / too little contrast. I wonder how I could check the contrast and properly set it?
And, generally, are there any advices on this photo? Thank you. ...

Hi! I recently uploaded 4 photos onto JetPhotos, and 3 out of 4 were rejected. They were all taken from the same date, around the same time of the day. One photo (Air Force 1) got rejected 2 weeks ago due to some reasons that I fixed, however this and 2 other photos were rejected only due to "Dirty Scan / CMOS Dust spots". I am very confused about this, because this is not a rejection reason I generally receive. I have a pretty decent camera setup (Eos R, canon l-series 100-500mm & canon 24-240mm), and I do not transfer my filed over dropbox/cloud servers, I import them directly into my pc (lightroom). I am unsure of what to do. Thanks!

I uploaded this photo yesterday as a hot because FR24 still displays a Cessna under the reg N500NB. On the aircraft front, it shows 'Embraer Praetor 500'. When uploading the photo and selecting the aircraft type, there is no option of 'Embraer Praetor'. And I searched 3 different websites, that Praetor 500 has the aircraft type number of EMB-545, which was what I entered in the information. And when I appealed, the screener rejected and replied with what is shown in the screenshot. I believe I have been wrongly rejected? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I made the point pretty clear.

Hi there, I would like to ask about my recent rejection. I uploaded the shot twice but it still got rejected for "dark/unexposed" and "too much/little contrast". I do acknowledge that the lighting conditions and camera settings weren't ideal then, but is there anything that I can do to "save" it? Thank you very much in advance.

P.S. Does anyone know how to correctly add the forum banner? I do know how to get the code, but when I go to "edit post signature" and add it, it shows that there's an error....

I've been rejected because of unsharpened. I threw it into photoshop made it a little more sharpened, didn't know you could do that but I did.
I submitted a rejection appeal told them that I'll sharpen the photo in photoshop and they said Admin Comments >> "Sounds great, please do."
I've done the edit to the photo I just don't know how to reach out to them and send it. I as well do not know how to upload the JPEG file to them.

Hello everybody,

I have recently tried to upload some pictures of an aircraft, but my submissions have been rejected due to the following reasons:
- Undersharpened (Soft)
- Backlit
- Too much noise or grain
- JPG compression artefacts
- Categories wrong or missing

As of the editing process which I followed, I thought that in order to cover the photos submission resolution requirements, I had to crop the pictures or to compress them, since they exceeded the maximum approved resolution.
However, they finally got rejected and now I find myself a little bit confused as to what to do.
Therefore, any recommendations and tips as regards the editing process could be much appreciated.

Thank you very much

Hey there,
I am pretty new to this site. I have a question: do rejected photos disappear 7 days or 14 days after the first screening? When I click on the rejected image it states 7 days but on the overview it says 14 days. When is the slot cleared?
Thanks!

So not long ago, I got this photo (https://www.jetphotos.com/viewreject_b.php?id=6699554) rejected for "too much or too little contrast" I appealed it, since I wasn't too sure about it, and the response I got was a rejection with the note "Almost backlit" and nothing else (screenshot of email is attached). I'm a little confused, as a photo being almost backlit shouldn't be a reason to be rejected, and there was no comment about the supposed contrast issue with the photo. Could someone please explain why the appeal was responded to like it was, and (if improving the photo is possible) how to improve it to make it acceptable? Thank you in advance!...

Hello dear member of the Jetphotos family. I would like to ask for some advice on the matter of rejection. I have been taking photographs at the Adana Airport in Turkey (LTAF). The problem is i get rejected most of the time. The last rejected photo is this one; https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=6677702

It is interesting because the following photo has been accepted. https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/8993543

The point is i did have follow a similar path of editing this two photos. I did adjusted some variables. I do hope to get help on this matter, how to improve my editing process. With my very best regards, TK Spotter.

Hey all,

I'm keen to get my RAF F-35B shots up from the RAF delivery today but these examples are considered 'Soft'. Any advice on fixing this would be appreciated.

"Too much or too little contrast" this reason for rejection drives me nuts as I have no idea how to re-edit to fix the photo. I've tried submitting the below photos quite a few times with different contrast settings and keep getting that reason for rejection, but I don't know if I have too much or too little contrast so have no idea how to fix them. Would love some input. Thanks!
