They went all out on my shot.

I personally didn't think it was that bad.

I'm not sure the cropping is that bad, but the color does have serious issues. It looks like you were toplit; the clouds are completely washed out, and the plane suffers as a result. I had the same problem when I tried to spot at FLL. What I've learned is that a partly cloudy background can make for an interesting shot (I actually prefer a few clouds), but you really really need the sun behind you or it becomes impossible to get a good exposure.

The cropping ratio wasn't valid, that's why it was rejected for cropping.

Def not John, its way to dark. The gray on those birds really is much lighter. I think you can save the shot fairly easily by adjusting the levels.

Rejected for similar photo in database.

So one can only have one shot of the same plane in the same airport arriving on/departing from the same runway?

They are both departures from 31L over HoBe, but definitly different situations. The new photo has a better bank, albeit a much cloudier background. I thought the double was same aircraft, same runway, same arrival/departure, same day. Guess I would be wrong as well.

There are 41 shots of that regi in the database on JP.net, almost half of those shots are from Hobe and 14 are bank shots, hence the rejection for similar shot. The system doesn't flag your own photo per say as similar but looks at the regi and location. This one prob came up red since there are so many of this regi at JFK already.

We have three levels to detect similar shots which look like this when we screen.

Similars Reg Reg+Loc Reg+Loc+Date
Photos 0 0 0
Queue 0 0 0
Reject 0 0 0

The top field tells us what we have in the database, the second field tells us what's in the que, and the last field tells us if this was rejected before. The top field has two different colors that highlight, either yellow for caution or red for a high chance of a similar. We can then click on each of those fields and it will bring up the similar shots. The screener then can decide how similar the shot is.

Morale of the story stop uploading pictures of the regi from Hobe, LOLOL j/k j/k. Again simply because we have so many of this plane on file from HoBe doesn't mean any future shots would be rejected. However it does mean that a screener may consider the quality of the shot a bit more when adding it.

Tommy,

Thanks for clearing that up. I have no problem with the rejection in that case.

It looks like you were having some autofocus issues in these shots...were you shooting through a window?

[hiss srq]

Yeah, the tower glass which is just under one half inch thick except in the G4 shot, I was on the roof of the tower.

I know I could probably sharpen these a lot more, and I realized after I submitted that I should probably bump up the contrast significantly, but what's with the "Bad Quality" rejections? What does that even mean?

Adam, the smaller birds coming off of 22R (as well as 31L) won't fill anywhere close to a full frame even with a 400mm. The more you crop to fill the frame, the more resolution you lose. Combine that with a load of usm and subsequent added grain...
I've lost a few good shots due to the same thing.
