This image was recently rejected for being underexposed.
When I appealed, I received a sarcastic " did you take the time to check the histogram before appealing?" comment.
Since the email inbox doesn't appear to accept replies, I can only respond here.
Yes I did. In fact, I even checked the histogram before originally submitting the image. With over 1,400 accepted images I think I know how to do that.
I didn't brighten the image because it was taken at dusk, in literally the last sunrays of the day. Hence why I ticked the "night shot" box. Were I to adjust the exposure to the normal daylight standards it would like something like this, which in my opinion is wholly unnatural.
Having looked through accepted night shot images on the site, it wasn't difficult to find one taken in similar light to my own.
This appears to be slightly darker than mine, but the histogram is altered by sunlight reflections on the leading edge slats. Such a small area of light makes no difference to the overall exposure, so why is one image acceptable and the other isn't?
