Before I reedit or appeal I would like some some opinion or advise.

Sincereslly...seeing the poor quality of the some pictures are being accepted here lastely. Specially oversharp and blurrys. I think this pictures meet correctly rules to be accepted.
Best Regards

Hi, this rejections today.

1.- Dark - low contrast - color rejection. Personal "colour looks washed out"

I can easily correct contrast and dark. But I do not understand that means the screener with the rejection of color. I can not see nothing incorrect with the color.

I would like some advise before reediting and reupload.

2.- Night shot. Color - Cyan cast- Low contrast- soft- grainy and motiv rejection. Personal "bad flare from light ".
I think everything is correctable. But I do not understand the motive rejection .

Why motive rejection?



Regards

First one looks a bit of softish for me. I think that adding contrast will help with dull color. Personally I'd use a bit of local darkening on this guy west because it's blown out (and adds to "washed" color look too).

Second one has prominent lens flare(s) which is no-go for a.net afaik.

This. The first one is not bad, very easily fixable to a.net standards.

The second is a no-go.

Motive is probably for the lens flares.

I'm not on my screening computer at the moment, so can't comment on the rest.

My take is that the saturations on the first shot need to be boosted.

Quoting bustin (Reply 1):

It's the lens flare that is the problem, that is, the circular halo above and near the cockpit of the aircraft registered "15133". I've had a few motive rejections like these in the past, due to lens flares  

That said, the first shot is fixable, but the second I'm afraid not. Best way to avoid lens flares is to either use a lens hood or keep bright sources of light blocked or out of the frame of the shot.

Cheers,
Yang

I have this rejection days ago. "Dark" rejction.

https://www.airliners.net/addphotos/r...24_k1458069318.8201160302-0086.jpg

I added light and reuploaded the picture.

https://www.airliners.net/addphotos/r...3_u1458937488.5271160302-0086s.jpg

The picture was again dark rejection.

I appealed and the headscreener reply "Dark" and "Overexposed. Backlit". I think there isn´t nothing dark o baclit here. Specially in the firts picture.

Some time ago I stopped trying to understand the ever-changing criteria and headscreeners screeners.
So, I would like some advice to fix this rejection.

I used how reference this accepted picture. Same day and same light conditions.

Which editing program do you use? You don't need to boost overall brightness on the shoot, but push up shadows a bit.

PS at reference photo overall brightness is the same as on shoot in question, but shadows are lighted so it was passable.

It's toplit, but that's trivial as the result is only slightly better compared to if it were backlit.

The fact that one photo was accepted and the other wasn't is probbably due to the fact that the 2 photos were viewed by different screeners. Not sure how to fix this without overexposing the background. You could try Alex's suggestion, but be careful to not overdo it (causing an editing rejection).

Hi.

Several days ago I had another night shoy by motive and soft. I think there is resaon to motive rejection by lens flare here. Specially after see today one recent night picture of one Belgium AF white NH-90. I don´t want post here this nice picture. But I can send one private mails to match. Seeing this picture I created serious doubts about the criteria used by screeners to accept or reject esta type pictures.

I added my reject picture. If someone wants to compare the two pictures and give your opinion. I'm really confused here.



Best Regards

That matter of the lens flare in night pictures would be a nice theme for an appeal (as every screener can see the results and comments about appeals AFAIK. Not sure about the soft, wait for more opinions

I dont see any problems quoting them, we're not talking they're bad. Give as examples some pictures ID, maybe it helps to clear the motive question in this cases.

Some nice pictures added with the lens flare:

I agree on soft. The motive (lens flare) is passable for me.

Thanks to yours opinion!!!

I will try correct soft rejection and reupload, I hope next screen no get another motive rejection again and received one warning. After seeing these two very nice and clarifiers examples would be difficult to understand.
