Rejections, Gordon :wink:
It has a lot of dust spots which didn't take when I saved it but it didn't even get bounced for that. I know for a fact that I selected that it was an airport shot but I'll clean it up and try again. And to add to that, it got screened by one person when it was early in the queue and wasn't dinged for it.

Hmmm...I didn't think this was too toplit..I guess I'll have to try one of the others...

Another backlit...but..it was a dark day too...

A question on as couple of rejections here if someone can help....the Bad Color (Over/Under Saturation, Hue) - is that on the aircraft? the sky? - I've just re-edited about 10 pictures from my 2 trips to NY last year - they are all much the same as these two - these got rejected and I suppose the rest of them will be as well as I used the same editing technique on all of them.....

I'd appeal both of these Mark, I don't see anything wrong with them. A bit top lit but not bad at all.Quote:

The North American has way too much blue near the back of the fuselage, and the entire plane has a bluish tinge. That should be trivial to fix in Photoshop.Quote:

No luck unfortunately...I'll find another one to edit...Quote:

Too much dead space:
http://www.jetphotos.net//viewreject_b.php?id=1958870
I gather this rejection is due to the fact that there's too much space at either end of the aircraft. However, if I keep the aircraft centered, I have to remove a big chunk of the background, which looks dumb. Should I move the airplane up a bit in the frame to keep the context, or does anyone have any other suggestions for how to crop this?
(The unresized version of this one is 1935x1454 and very sharp, so I can still safely shrink it quite a bit.)
There's to much space on the left and right sides Adam. If it was a larger aircraft it might work but the size of the E just gets lost unless you crop it tighter.Quote:

I just had 8 shots accepted.....the views are pathetic.Quote:

Blurry?? Is this one of those things where the screener says "blurry" when he/she really means "soft"? If so, what's soft? I can probably sharpen it a bit more...
http://jetphotos.net/viewreject_b.php?id=1965425
Soft...ok, no problem
Too much or too little contrast...This is always kicking my ass. Is it too much or too little?
Yes... :wink:Quote:

Seriously, anybody?
I'm on my monitor at work, but, it seems over-contrasty. The clouds were working against you so I'd say this is a personal collection photo, sorry Kenny.Quote:

Reason: Heat distortion
I don't see any distortion on the AA jet. Thoughts?
Top and bottom edges of the white stripe, and really on the edges of all three stripes around and aft of the cockpit windows.Quote:

Far to much contrast. There's allot of noise in the shot to Kenny. The light just wasn't with you bro.Quote:

Over-exposure? Too much saturation?
The white is all blown-out, detail is lost in the upper fuselage.Quote:

Ok - Thanks John - I think I need to re-calibrate my screen....
http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject_b.php?id=2014894
http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject_b.php?id=2014885
Should I expand the top and bottom more? I'm just afraid that then the it'll look too far away. Or zoom in and then expand?
Mark, on the Blue Angels 4-ship, it definitely needs to be a closer crop, if you can manage that with the photo size you have. While the smoke trail looks nice, for the generally accepted "formulas" used by the usual aircraft photo sites, you need to cut some of that dead space.
On the second one, what aspect ratio are you cropping to? I usually use 4x3 or 3x2, which work well with JP.net's acceptable sizes. I'm assuming that is the issue - they said "Cropping / Photo edges / Size Ratio", and I don't see any bits in the corners/edges that got cut off when rotating to level then cropping. Check your crop ratio, and perhaps crop it a touch closer to the horizontal stabilizer on the right side - you should have about the same space to the edge of the photo as you do on the left side.
Thanks for the advice; I'll definitely give that a try.
I need some help with these.

This got knocked for 1024x795?
I can see the soft spot in the front of the plane.
When I try to sharpen it up, i get jaggies on the plane. What do I do?
http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject_b.php?id=2018009
Should I just sharpen it up a bit?
http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject_b.php?id=2018007
i have no clue.
http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject_b.php?id=2018006
Where is it unlevel??
Yeah, me too.
Oversharpen. I thought it was still a tad soft in the nose.

When you crop your image, use either a 4x3 or 3x2 aspect ratio. When you resize to 1024, the other dimension will automatically fall to the correct size. As to sharpening, what I do if it's a tough shot, sharpen on a duplicate layer, and if you get some jaggies on that layer (along cheat lines or flap/wing spaces) use the eraser tool to erase those spots on the top layer, leaving the "softer" lower layer visible.Quote:

It looks like there is some lens flare right near the center of the image (on the lower part of the right hand set of dials in the center of the panel). It doesn't look level - could use some CW rotation, and the way the ramp is blown out through the cockpit windows is distracting to me. Also, while it could use some USM, I wonder if it's just not entirely in focus, as if you were shooting at a wide-open aperture to accommodate a relatively dark panel. This (and the blown-out background) could be helped by exposing for the outside view, then using flash to illuminate the panel. I know, if this was a quick shot they let you grab as you were leaving the plane, you probably didn't have a lot of time to play with it, but it's something to think about for next time.Quote:

The nose doesn't look too bad to me, but you could always give it a touch of selective sharpening in that area. And don't forget - don't sharpen the sky!Quote:

As I said, I wasn't sure, given the vapor trail off the wingtip. Good luck on the appeal, it does look good to me.Quote:
