Post Your Recent REJECTIONS!

Cary, I am sorry... I called them before they screened them and told them to just reject a few of your pictures because I was jealous of you... and they love me

Yes, I'm sure JP.net loves you after they caught wind of your "huge lens".

Funny thing is, I recently uploaded about 15 pics to JP.net, from a batch that had all been accepted by A.net in the months prior, and I got 3 rejections! Which reminds me that once upon a time (years ago), I got a rejection from JP.net and appealed it, saying "A.net accepted it". Guess what? They accepted it on appeal

Of course that is the best appeal reason!

Can someone tell me what is unlevel about this?

Looks like it needs a little CCW rotation, Joop.

I got this reject this am :(

I think the plane is fine, but the tower does have some distortion. Does the tower need to be razor sharp also? Is it worth an appeal?

[gonzalu]

Jeremy, how far away were you and how far off the ground was the aircraft? Look at your tail right in front of the tower... it is heavily heat hazed :-( Tower has nothing to do with it and typically does not matter. Your aircraft is all that needs to be tack sharp and well exposed/sharpened.

Hey Manny;

thanks for the feedback. I was a rather long way away. This was 320mm required to get near fully frame. The plane was a 50-100 feet off the ground.

I can now see the tail is heat hazed, now that you pointed it out. Another one for the personal file.

Ack. Thought I had this one figured out.

I leveled it to the handles on the first set of overhead bins.

Bank angle! Bank angle! LOL

Forget the overhead bins use the bottom of the rear door which acts as the horizon.

Either that, or the top of a row of seatbacks.

Jeremy, the best way to level an image that has no TRUE OVERALL guide, is to do it by feeling. Does the image make you feel dizzy or does it just look not leveled? Technically you can select many a reference, and it sometimes works. But when it clearly does not, use the liquid in your ears Seriously, your brain is so good at detecting things like vertical lines that it is not easy to fool.

IF you need a good reference point, start with ANYTHING in the center of the frame. If the central vertical lines are upright, the brain (and sometimes screeners) will forgive anything that isn't level on the edges.

Here is the level on the door in the back... better but not by much...



let's try the seat back reference



Feels a little better... but now the rear door is leaning a bit to the right. Balance it out until it looks visually pleasing to you. If using Lightroom, pay attention to the gridlines on the rotation/cropping tool.

this one for backlit dust spot, can anyone help?

this one for backlit dust spot, can anyone help?

Look on the far left side of the image, about one inch down. There is a black dot on the image. What program are you using to edit your shots? If you are using Photoshop, you can create a duplicate layer and equalize it. That will show all dust spots. As far as the backlit, that is debatable since it is an overcast day. The aircraft has a pretty even cast of light on it.

Hey Sergio... here is what I see:



and I tried to clean it up a bit and play with curves to try and minimize the look of it being back-lit.
