You can try playing around with the levels with new edits, but honestly the easiest thing to have a better chance at acceptance would be to try again with different images with better light conditions. Of these three, only the second one looks fixable, imho.

I read the guideline but that doesn't make sense to me. What's the criteria? Please don't get me wrong, I'm just trying to learn your upload standarts. Secondly, you said second one can be fixable. What's the solution for that? Thanks again and sorry for taking your time!
The second image does indeed look fixable. You can do that in the program you use to edit your photos by increasing the contrast with the contrast slider. You don't need to increase by much. Just enough to get a bit more shadow under the aircraft's fuselage and the wings while the rest remains relatively bright.
Hope my input helps. All the best.

I agree with the above comments from previous posters. When I first started with aviation photography (5+ years ago) contrast was something which I found rather difficult. As previous posters have stated, photographing in better weather conditions with the sun behind you will greatly improve the quality and lighting of the photographs. In my opinion the first and secoand photographs are looking to be the better attempts, however, will still need "fixing". If you are using photoshop there is a good addin from Google called "Nik Collection" (free) which contains some very good tools to improve the image. Also if you are not already, take your photographs in RAW mode insted of JPEG as RAW retains more image data than JPEG.
Hope I have helped

Originally posted by Pta Aviation View PostHi. I'm not a screener but I can give you some advice on how to get good contrast. I don't know what time of the day you shot your photos or which direction you were looking but the easiest way would be to shoot with the sun behind you which would allow you to get good contrast. As the screener has pointed out, the likely issue with your photos is that you shot them in poor light conditions, likely on an overcast day with no direct light, which makes it difficult to get good contrast.

Better weather conditions should yield better results.Originally posted by cmorton View PostI agree with the above comments from previous posters.
