For Tupolev, I adjusted contrast using curves and decreased exposure:

For second, I adjusted colors, but I am not sure if there is green cast now:

I see color and exposure issues on both still. I think the second might be easier to fix, so if you want to send me the original file, I'd be willing to take a look.
but I need some help in how many degrees I need to level it to get it accepted. It was only rejected for leveling. The rest was fine. Attached is the unedited photo so someone can may help with leveling?

Honestly, it would probably be better if you were able to figure it out on your own, as you're not going to have someone there to tell you for every single photo you edit. The easiest thing to do is use an editing tool like the crop or rectangular marquee tool in PS (ones that create perfectly horizontal lines), and use it to 'measure' the horizon. Play around with different adjustments until you find one that is right. It took me 10-15 seconds of playing around with your photo to see it needs in the neighborhood of 1.5 degrees ccw.
Hi there. I sent this image to the pre-screening thread and was told that it has a blue cyan tint that needed to be corrected. I have tried to correct it but nothing I try seems to work. Can you please advice on how I can correct it.

Adjust the color to remove the cyan/green cast by adding red/magenta. See right side:
obviously my previous successful uploads did succeed without me having proper knowledge of how to utilize the histogram to adjust contrast properly. Recently some pics were rejected on "too much or too little contrast" (should that be a single rejection reason?) - turned out the contrast was indeed too low.
Here is one of them:
And here's a screenshot of how it looks like in LR5:
Could you pls tell me what I did wrong?
Yes, I do not know how to use the histagram properly, never learnt it - so if you know of a decent online tutorial (the one in Brian's otherwise nice list in "Processing tips and tricks" is unfortunately broken), I'd be thankful for that as well.
I got this one rejected; the "technical issues" - darkness, sharpness etc, I've dealt with separately, but the "categories wrong or missing" one confused me a bit. I presume this relates to the comments on the fuselage - first to fly A320 Neo etc, but surely these would be classed as decals rather than a special livery.

You went wrong not with the editing, but simply trying to submit an image taken in less than optimal light. You can try to brighten it a bit and add more contrast, but no guarantee that will work.

Indeed 'Special Scheme' is needed. If you check the upload guideline, it is clearly stated that "Aircraft with large stickers to celebrate the 100th or 500th plane delivered, also count. Same with advertising stickers if large or advertising schemes, these do qualify for Special Scheme selection."

Thanks for the response!
Less than optimal? The sun was shining from behind me, at around 4 PM, through a very thin layer of clouds (quite like a thin curtain). Would you consider that a "less than optimal light"? I might add that I always shot with exp. -1/3 to enable shorter exp. times, hence the correction at brightness. +20 or +25 at contrast is pretty much standard during my LR workflow, although I have to admit that I use that slider more instinctively than looking at the histogram.

Yes, the 'very thin layer of clouds' is what is causing you problems with the image. It's making the background as bright or brighter than your subject. I'm not saying the light was poor, just that it could have been better (for aviation photography anyway).
