I still have a lot to learn with editing. I've been getting a ton of rejections lately that look good to me but aren't making the cut for various reasons. I'm watching as many youtube videos as possible and picked up the Nik suite to hopefully help my workflow.

Here's a recent example of one that has got rejected for halos. I know what certain kinds of halos very tight to the fuselage look like but I'm not really seeing them here. Maybe I'm not looking for the right thing. Could someone help me understand the halo effect in my C-17 shot? For this shot I used the Nik suite and followed along with this in depth video pretty closely https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtEBSKE2OKI

As many of the vets here will preach (example), an average shot shouldn't require more than a couple of minutes of editing in basic software (Photoshop, Lightroom) from open to save. That video seems a bit excessive if you have a good starting point.JakTrax wrote:Is it all not irrelevant since the tailplane is chopped?

I've always understood that this is allowed, see example 15c here.
