I always found the 100-400 to be on the softer side on the 7D...that being said you shouldn't be having any problem getting sharp enough images for a.net with it...and really as long as you're hitting at least 1/400 you should be fine. I usually shoot between f/4 and f/6.3 and haven't had any issues. You're shooting the highest jpeg quality or RAW, yeah?

I am disappointed this got rejected. One of the grounded 787's

Once again a.net blows me away - all the different things it is rejected for!!

Needs CCW rotation
Low contrast
Low in frame
Grainy
Soft
contrast
centered
level
Mark, all easy fixes :-) Unfortunately, I agree with the rotation/level as given by the look of the light towers. It also is a bit low in frame. The hard contrast is likely due to the hot upper fuselage. Otherwise it looks fine...
Here is my quick edit. I removed about 5 level from the bright side and rotated a bit CCW. Also move it up a bit in frame to center the bottom of the fuel tanks and the top of the fuselage by the cockpit.

and your version for comparison

I guess I need to use that course that I bought on Photoshop :)
Mark, you don;t need a course ... you are great with Photoshop... I think I know my way around PSCS2-6 and I get rejected on a daily basis :tongue:
Motive rejection. Funny, I have over seven engine shots in my stream. Four are other FL special scheme engine shots. Their consistency is getting awful.

Heat distortion. I see the horizontal stab is a bit blurred. This solely due to engine exhaust and a 30 knot wind blowing it back. I personally don't agree with this one.

Over 400 accepted shots, and I forget to put a night shot category for a sunset shot.

This one floored me. The same BS heat distortion issue but they also said part of aircraft cut off. How many thousands of photos have half the tail cut off?

Maybe it is heat-distortion day.....

The heat distortion rejects are obvious. Both nose gears have it and it's plain to see other spots though slight, it's there.

Rejection reasons: blurry, contrast, color. Extra comments: "strong contrast, magenta cast"
I'm not arguing the rejections or the reasons, but I would appreciate your comments to improve this. For blurry, I suppose the right wing/engine need some sharpening (I didn't give it as much as I did on the fuselage and windows). Contrast seems a bit harsh of a reason to me for a sunset shot, but I'll live with it. As for magenta cast, I can see where they come from, I'm just not quite sure how to fix this in CS5. Help appreciated, thanks!
Can't see it :(
Grr, dammit! Let's try again (thanks Manny)

You can see the blur in the winglet, and the artifacts resulting from the aggressive sharpening there even though it appears soft still. For the contrast and magenta issues, when you correct your levels, do so in each individual channel instead of through RBG. That will go a long ways in helping.

Can someone explain to me about the yellow cast? As well as the motive softness and how a light post being shown would reject a shot although it's not blocking the aircraft
