Definitely has a pink cast, but passable for me for late day lighting. If you don't already do so, it helps to include a comment to the screeners about color casts due to early or late day lighting. Sometimes one can tell due to angle of the shadows, but on this one, it's not so obvious. As I said, the image is passable for me...you could try an appeal on this one.

Cheers,

Jehan

Hi, this one was rejected for too much contrast and oversharpened. I agree contrast is a bit high but it gives an impression of the light at that time of the day. Should I indeed lower the contrast (because I had a similar photo lately rejected for low contrast). And which parts are oversharpened?

Hi Stefan,
oversharpening seems pretty minor to me, visible on the smaller titles but otherwise I struggle to see it.
But for my personal liking the shot is way too contrasty, so I agree with the rejection. It is very "black" as it is if you see what I mean, would look better with less contrast, surely lightening the midtones would help.
Generally the angle is problematic with the sun coming from the back, something side-on or more form the back would be more suited for this light.

Hello guys, I now improved the image by reducing the contrast. But now it`s rejected for red color cast and soft front. I appreciate the personal comment from the screener but it sounds a bit strange that now it`s suddenly soft. And the red color cast is due to the low light/end of the day if you ask me. Is it worth to try an appeal or should I fix it? If you click on the photo below you can see it real size.

Hello,I looked your photo just now and i don't consider that it is soft i think the sharpen is ok for me ...and also should be passable..but i am not sure the color problem.If it was taken under the low light situation i think it could be passable....but i am not Screener so i don't know their standard and i haven't uploaded the low light photos yet so not sure it . :?

Stefan,

Due to the angle of the light, this image has an underexposed appearance to it especially with the nose and cockpit windows in the shadows. Sharpness seems OK on the full sized image. The image has a yellow cast to it but that is acceptable for me given the time of day. The image could use some CW rotation though: The light pole on the left as well as the tower on the right appear to be leaning to the left.

Hi there, I was able to make a banking shot for the first time. It was rejected for low contrast and noise (in the air the screener told me). Now it has been rejected again for quality, noise and underexposed. The quality gives me an idea that it`s not salvageable. Is this right? I am hoping it can be added so hopefully the noise is the only problem now. Hope to hear from you. Thanks.

Hi Stefan,

I am not on my editing monitor, so I can't judge quality properly. Quality doesn't automatically mean that it isn't salvagable and without seeing the original that would be hard to tell generally unless a shot is really bad.
What I can say is that the sky is definitely grainy.
If you want to send me the original I can have a look and try an edit. It is a nice shot!

See you
Julien

Hi Stefan,

Like Julien said, the sky is definitely noisy. Exposure is fine for me. Unfortunately I also agree that the quality is marginal. It looks a bit hazed/OS, especially towards the rear.

Another banking shot, this time a 777-200. It was rejected for noise and oversharpened. The oversharpened was not mentioned before and I didn`t really sharpen it after resizing. Which parts should be taken care of? I see a little on the cheatline but it looks minor (and before not seen by the other screener also). And the noise I thought I had removed it as much as I could. When equalized I can`t see that much in the air. So any ideas, appeal has a chance? Greets

Quality looks kinda marginal to be honest. It looks slightly oversharpened in general, maybe a bit hazed in areas. But the fuselage from the engine forward looks soft.

Honest opinion? I'd wait to get it in better light.

But if you're hellbent on trying this one; it feels a bit blurry towards the back, especially the tail. As you say, light is marginal and I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Hi Stefan,
I can only echo Kas, wait until you get in good / better light (it seems to be in AMS everyday- so you'll possibly get it sooner or later). The problem is the sky is brighter than the airplane, so it will be tough to have a properly lit airplane without the sky looking blown out.

Using the shadow / highlight tool is rarely a solution if you ask me.

Hi Stefan,

yes the tiles are slightly oversharpened, otherwise the aircraft is fine.

If you are doing another edit, I would correct the lense distortion as well, would look better in my opinion. Though it is not a rejection reason of course.

True. Otherwise I could do it for you as well, Stefan. It takes a few seconds in CS6, send me a mail if you want :D

Hi there, I was on holiday in Azerbaijan last week and made a photo of the new terminal. It`s not in the database yet. Unfortunately I have noticed reflections in the photo because of the lights. Is there any way I can get rid of them in PS? Somebody has advice to save it from the bin? What would be a good method to avoid them next time while shooting in dark conditions? Could there be some leniency maybe because it`s the only photo of the terminal on the site? Thanks Stefan

Hi Stefan,

there is no legal way (concerning a.net rules) to get rid of such reflections, as the only options would mean either cloning or selectively editing, so I think this would be something for your own gallery (no need to bin it, it is a nice shot!)

Filters can avoid such reflections.

Yeah, the flares kinda kill it unfortunately. The only way I can think of is to clone them out, but from experience it will be next to impossible to achieve that without leaving any signs of doing so. A nice photo for the collection, but unfrotunately not for A.net in this state.

Thanks Kas and JK! This photo was rejected some days ago for banding and oversharpened. Can`t see both of them to be honest. The sky is maybe a bit more blue in the top than below but there is no real banding going on in my opinion. And the oversharpened parts, are they on the wing or in the background? Can`t see significant jaggies. Thanks Stefan

Hello,
I can't see the Banding issue through this one even using the equalize to check it. But the " FlyUIA.com" looks bit of OS i think.Not very bad.

Hi Stefan, I can't see the banding or the oversharpening either. Typically the slots in the flaps tend to show jaggies quite easily, but that's not the case here either. Titles look also fine for me. And regarding the sky, it's completely normal that the upper part is darker than the horizon, it only needs to be a smooth gradient, as it is in this case (IMO).
