Over spring break, the president decided to pay a visit to my hometown. Naturally, I went. I submitted a shot and it was rejected for high contrast and being common. I understand that common is never used by itself. Advice on how to better edit this photo is appreciated. The aircraft is a bit dark due to the sunset light.
here is the rejected image
Here is the original image (jpeg, but I have the RAW)
