Welp, I have submitted 3 photos to the queue, 2 of which have been screened, and have all been rejected. BTW, these have been pre-screened, and accepted.
Should I make a comment to the screeners that these photos have been pre-screened? Or does pre-screening not really mean anything?
Thanks in advance!

This image:
Of which I said
Originally posted by dlowwa View PostGoing to have to disagree with Geri. That image is heavily compressed, blurry, and yet oversharpened in parts. Don't think it will have much chance on screening.
Of which I said
Originally posted by dlowwa View PostYes, although the quality is terrible.
Of which I said
Originally posted by dlowwa View PostWould be rejected for horizon, compression, noise, and oversharpened.
It was your right to ignore the advice you were given of course, but I then have zero motivation to provide any more advice in the future.

Thanks,

I am pretty sure your photo will be rejected for soft, horizon, and maybe contrast/exposure too.
EDIT: Sorry, I'm not sure why this showed up in my new posts feed, apparently the last post was more than a week ago.

I think your photos are looking better than before in terms of sharpness, crop, and horizon. But on numbers 1 and 2, you may get flagged for contrast and on all three it looks like they may be backlit.
Wait and see if an official screener replies, though.

Thanks for taking a look! I knew the lighting was a bit harsh, especially on 1 and 2, but I thought they might've still had a chance.

Pay special attention to points 5.1 (backlit) and 5.2 (contrast). Backlit photos was something I really struggled with initially.
Again, I don't have the expert eyes of a screener, it's just something that I suspect you may get flagged on. It's your choice to queue them up or not.

Unfortunately Andrew doesn't seem to want to follow the spirit of the Feedback Forum, so he might not be getting too many replies from the crew.
Andrew, even after you private messaged me yesterday promising you would listen to our requests about using the forum from now on, just a few hours later you would go a disregard another.
On the Suggestions when asking for editing advice page, which you have been asked to read multiple times, we clearly ask that you come to the forum for advice before appealing, to see if an appeal is actually called for.
Still, you immediately appealed the rejection of your Kalitta 747 yesterday, despite again, 1) our request that you ask for help in the forum before appealing, and 2) at least one of the rejection reasons being objective, i.e. something that can't be overturned on appeal. If you had posted here asking advice first, you would have saved all parties involved time, and you may have actually gotten a response from the crew again. Now, I just don't really see that happening, at least from me.

Asking your friends other photographers is nice, but they won't be the ones handling the appeals. In my experience only about 10-20% of appeals are accepted, so the chances are the rejection was justified, and it would be best to find that out before appealing - thus our request to use the forum.
