Dear screener community,
since signing on JP, getting 100% rejects in the beginning, I'm trying to learn how to get my photos right the first time. Obviously some of it is monitor related, some is experience related, some is probably just not quite knowing what a rejection reason actually means. For example I keep getting "dark/underexposed" rejects even when the histogram shows content from the very left to the very right.
Now I found there is this editing advice forum, so let's jump to the chance to improve and to save all you screeners a bit of time.
The first candidate is this one: https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=6185924, rejected for "dark".
The histogram to me looks correct, I did a bit of Gamma correction. Would this new version be accepted?
Also,pictures like this one https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=6185889 keep getting rejected for "dark" and "contrast". I do see the noise issue with the sky here now.
Again, the histogram has no gaps on either side though I see that most of the content is on the darker side. Well, the sky *was* dark in reality, that's what - to me - makes the interesting atmosphere, together with the sun glares in the windows. Would this slight brightening the midtones and shadows be sufficient:
or rather like this https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=6185893 (rejected) with just the sky brightened (did more sharpening too):
Thanks in advance
