Jeremy,
From what I see in your image (the large version you linked) the cockpit area looks to have serious CA. Here is a set of 100% crops:

Cockpit is easily seen... the right of the cockpit, take a look at the tug. The driver's leg shows it, the wheel also shows blue/red shift which is typically CA. On the oher hand, the cockpit windows are likely showing lens flaring... or registration errors... meaning some of the color channels were not properly rendered by the CCD/CMOS as the lens did not bring it to the proper focus (it is hard for me to explain this stuff... others are better at it :-) like Wikipedia or Cambridge in Colour)
Look at the left side, the areas I highlighted show CA (red/purple/blue shifting)
You may have to ZOOM IN to about 500% to make it more obvious.
As far as sharpening, you may be killing yourself with the 100,0.2,0 setting as NO TWO IMAGES require the same sharpening setting. I usually will end up with 5 layers and each with different sharpen setting if needed and then mask the rest. Some areas with super fine detail benefit from super small USM settings while others can benefit more from higher settings.
50,0.5,0 will work VERY WELL on larger areas of contrast with a single pass. Depending on how much small/medium/large detail there is, you should use lower/higher as needed.
The best way in my opinion, but it is more time consuming and even more obnscure to some :-) is using a find edges process and sharpening that. This has a way to AUTOMAGICALLY finding areas that need more and areas that need less sharpening in a dynamic way dictated by the image itself.

I have been really troubled by this lately on JetPhotos.net. I have a lot of rejections of "JPG Aritfacts" and I can;t imagine how they arrive at these conclusions. My workflow for the following images is absolutely the same and the end result which is the final output to JPG is using PSCS5 JPG 12 and I can;t see how JPG artifacts would be there. I can;t see them :-( Are they solely basing the decision on image size? I say this because the ONLY TIME I appealed it, the head screener got really angry and said with a file size such as the one submitted, there HAS to be JPG artifacts. :-( Any help would be appreciated. I am not sure how else to make the artifacts (if indeed there) go away as I have no higher setting for the JPG output module ??? thanks all.
These have been resized by the vBulletin theme visually. The image itself is the full size from JP.net so feel free to right-click and view image or download to view on your PC using an editor of choice

I honestly don't understand what the heck JPG Artifacts is.
-
Well, I totally know and understand what it is, so that's why I am puzzled I got rejected on these for that reason. I don't see artifacts even at high magnification. The Evergreen I can see a bit of it at 500% magnification. Here is a good writeup

Brandon, congrats :-) JP.net liked it

Yep! Was about to post that lol

Sorry for stealing your thunder. When I saw it I immediately recognized it LOL

this one had multiple issues :(

Any clue on how I hosed up categories and location.

I would agree, not centered would have been more appropriate in my opinion though for that rejection.

That's size ratio. For JP it has to either be 3:2 or 4:3.

The EDGES I think has to do with balance...
--Your wheels should either be touching the bottom edge or the rear vertical stabilizer has to be equi-distant from the top border as the bottom wheels.
--The right engine is much further from the frame than the left engine...
Here are two optional crops

Got 2, back 2 back Rejections today on Jetphotos, both for the same reason: - Cropping / Photo edges / Size Ratio

Kaz,
Your aspect ratio is wrong... here is an example of the two accepted ratios

For A.net and J.net, you can;t just crop to your taste, it should always be a 4:3 or 3:2 ratio.
Cheers!
