I've got two versions here and not sure which is better to send, or if either will make it...input is appreciated!

Definitely the first one... more balanced and does not chop the parts indiscriminately ... :-)
I would tighten the histogram a bit as it seems a little flat. Here is a quick touch up... curves and color balance to taste.

you should also leave a BIT of breathing room around the edges, not cropping TOO tightly... crop tight, but not to touch the edges if you don't need to... For me, if I am showing the whole plane, I leave about 5 to 10 pixels from any edge to the nearest part...
If I am cropping, I may crop super tight on an engine nacelle or a window etc, but it is dynamic.
In REAL photography, breathing room is very important. On Airliners, they prefer a tighter crop than not, but that's not to say you can;t have a pleasing border around the aircraft and the closest part to the edges :-)
Cheers!
I have a really good feeling I will be seeing a motive rejection on this one because of the beltloader and jetway but figure it was worth the shot anyways-

That is a sweet shot Bran... but definitely motive rejection because the of the blocked number 1 engine, left wing and bottom of number 2 engine. :-(
Which honestly is retarded as it is a dam good shot for being through glass and at night.
Quality wise it sure is but the jetway just kills it unfortunately. Can't fault anet here just about anyone would agree the clutter takes away from a great angle of the aircraft at night. Like I said that shot is very tough to pull off since if he is pushing and the jetway is gone you have the tug in the way. Your best chance is when he is arriving at the gate when only the marshal is in the foreground but it's a very tough motive to nail. Worth chasing though for if you do it will be money.
A little help on this one from you guys, this is my 1st time submitting a DC3, do I have to check off "Warbird/Vintage" Just don't want to get a rejection for "missing categories "
Thanks :)

Definitely vintage so check it off... maybe a tiny bit underexposed? I can;t say for sure since I am at work and not calibrated :P
Having a go with an evening/night shot. Not sure if it is over-processed? 1000 pxl is the most I think I can get out of this one.

Jeremy, nice image... you have the original? I'd love to give it a shot if you like... you know my E-mail :-)
One of the first images from my last trip.
C/C please

ISO2500, 1/20th, f4.5 Through the glass, handheld
http://www.jetphotos.net/img/4/7/1/2...1318168217.jpg
Trying to save that one, do you guys think it has a shot?
Adam, a bit contrasty and underexposed on my screen here... Could the original stand a +1/3 to 2/3 stops of exposure compensation? IF JPG, it may be tougher to get away with it.
Very nice Mike!
Can someone give me a hand on finding the cn and block number for this bad boy?

Try this website - you will find it here:

just got this into the queue...
http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/b...831aerolam.jpg
I would accept solely on star value :-) That being said, Maybe a bit underexposed? Here is a quick boost in contrast, exposure and saturation. Light bands are my edit...
http://pictures.mannyphoto.com/photo.../i-JZj9dzH.jpg
Good luck sir, hope it gets accepted. I am still cursing for this picture!
Good Morning NYCA!
Browsing through the HD and found a few shots from the 2010 Great MN Airshow that I might try and get into jp.net. Horrible light most of the time, but I think this one has a chance

http://jeremyd.smugmug.com/Other/pot...9_c5MdQN4-O-LB
Any editing suggestions? Also what would I use for the plane upload information? Thanks in advance.
Hey guys, what are the chances of getting this on jp.net? Unfortunately I do not have the N-number.

This previously got rejected for dark. It was shot at 2300, so it was dark outside. Bounced the flash of the roof of the flight deck which blew out the LCD screens a bit.
Re-editted and played with the shadow/highlight a bit.

Any comments appreciated!
Jeremy
This is too dark in my opinion
http://jeremyd.smugmug.com/Other/pot...wevening-L.jpg
I think this should do, make SURE to check off "NIGHT SHOT" as well
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7161/6...52b87e06_b.jpg
I am new to the JP/A-Net, and I would like someone prescreen my pics...i think I bugged enough people to double check me, so I'll give this a shot!
Was rejected because of undersharpening, is this good now?
http://www.jetphotos.net/img/3/8/4/2...1326580248.jpg
UPS 744 hope I centered it right.

Is this one blurry?

Sorry if I over did this.
#1 seems blurry and a bit off-color; I don't think any amount of sharpening could fix that.
#2 looks okay, maybe a TOUCH of USM.
#3 looks far, lacking in contrast and soft, maybe salvageable.
#4 looks pretty well exposed and pretty sharp to me, just a big of color noise, especially noticeable in the red areas, but that's okay.
#5 and #6 look good.
Than you very much for the help on that, the FD MD-11 is very faded though, but your prob right.
Fixing the other ones that need fixing. :smile:
Also on #1 parts of the plane are chopped off. Not sure if they would accept that crop. Keep posting up images! I love the cargo planes!
Kris -
1 Fedex is soft around the nose and a bit dark. The motive/parts cut off is fine as the crop is motivated.
2 UPS 744 looks good, I would instant add (make sure CARGO checked)
3 UPS might be a touch low, but crop is technically ok as you are leaving left wing in
4 NAC I would instant add, again check CARGO
5 Alaska I would instant add
6 UPS touch low in the frame but otherwise would instant add (and again CARGO category)
Well I come from the city of the cargo...Well my next photo is a Combi 737.
http://www.jetphotos.net/viewqueued_b.php?id=3729791
Fedex 777 is the cropping good?
http://www.jetphotos.net/img/3/2/3/0...1326814032.jpg
Alaska Combi sharpened good?
http://www.jetphotos.net/img/4/0/1/6...1326944610.jpg
Or the same for her?
http://www.jetphotos.net/img/4/6/5/1...1326813156.jpg
A couple more I could use some prescreening.

Kris, The Alaska looks fine, The SW looks a little soft, if you like send me the original and I will be more than happy to give you my take on it [email protected]
Kris......my two cents........both look soft to me, I would sharpen both. The composition of the Alaska looks sweet, although I might crop the image to the back of the tail. The Southwest composition doesn't agree with me, maybe it's the perspective or something.
I find both to be soft... especially the Alaska (what a gorgeous c/s that is!! missed it at LAX :-( )
Anyhow, the Southwest I felt the shadows could use some curve tweaks so I also did that and some selective sharpening. It will never look great editing an already resized JPG but here they go...
DON'T FORGET that the forum code indiscriminately re-sizes any image above 800 pixels wide so right-click and view image at its original size for the correct view.

Thought I would try a night shot from the KMSP observation deck. Luckily I shot RAW and I has been tweaked to get it this far. Comments, suggestions appreciated.
