Post Your Recent REJECTIONS!

I just got this one rejected for level, I appealed it because the I checked the verticals are really vertical, I checked them with the grid in Photoshop, I'm very puzzelled with this one.

What about your horizontals? It may just be an optical illusion, but the runway and the background building do not seem horizontally leveled to me *at first glance*, which is most likely the only glance you will get from screeners. Otherwise, lovely shot! Hope it'll make it.

It does look unlevel on first glance, but you can appeal and argue that the light pole right behind the A380 is perfectly vertical.

I submitted a shot of an NCPD helicopter making a medevac pickup at the Oyster Bay train station parking lot once. When I cropped it appropriately, nothing in the photo looked level, and there was a light pole, at an angle, prominently placed to the side of the helicopter. I made sure I included a note to the screeners explaining that the light pole was not level, and that I had leveled the photo to a building that was cropped out of the edge of the frame. It was accepted.

Mark, Ive had a few rejected for that reason too, I feel like they will accept it if its cropped right behind the wheels, I have some in queue like that, lets see ! That is one heck of a shot by the way

This one for level

For me that is caused by the angle you are shooting at from the top of the parking garage.

As Kaz said, they and A.net have the same criteria to crop tight on the wheels if not showing full aircraft

I think if you align the right side doors it would get accepted... being close to the frame they are obviously concentrating on it as your eye is drawn to it. Give it a whirl ;-)

At first glance it does look like it is level, but two things to keep in mind:

--A.net is really strict about this. I have had many of a long discussion about leveling in the forums. They are really strict about it
--They screen your images at not only normal size but also zoom in to look at various details such as leveling

If you see my example below, note that you are a bit off the mark by a hair on the left side mostly. Toss in a little CCW and you should be all in. RIGHT-CLICK | VIEW IMAGE to see the full size version.

Seriously? I see what you were trying to do. I think you just got a super picky screener.

[steve1840]

This is even better than Cary's "dead space".......this one they said was digitally manipulated

Needless to say I have appealed it.

Did they send a personal message saying what was manipulated?

[steve1840]

Not at all! THats what bugs me. They reject it cause they think it was manipulated, but don't bother to tell me why they think that. In my appeal I stated that the only adjustments made to the photo where adjustments made in post processing that are outlined in the guides in there help section. Nothing more, nothing less. And I did ask them in the appeal if they could give me a brief explanation of why they believe it was manipulated. We'll see what they say.

Cary, did you submit this as a particular aircraft, or as a ramp/terminal shot?
