OK at a very quick glance as I'm at work and my monitor is not up to scratch, here is my take
1 Bad center and Bad quality
2 Bad center
3 Bad Motive
4 Bad center
5 Bad quality Heat haze around the wheels, said that before in another thread!
6 Bad center and Bad quality
Take care
Fergul
PS: e-mail me tonight if you want, and I might be able elaborate more on those.

Try not to get to down Dom.... We have all been there and know how frustrating it can be... But try to stay positive. Im sure you will get another day soon where 10 out of 10 are accepted !!!!
Have to agree with the screeners on their rejections re bad contrast and bad dark. Also love th KU shot. Its a killer spot if the weathers right.... I also thought that it could be bad level so maybe check that out before reuploading.

To add my two pence worth. I think your suffering from the infamous grey bottom problem.
1. Grey bottom does it no favours.
2. BA A320 at LHR, nuff said.
3. The tree kills it.
4. Grey bottom
5. I like this shot. This said, depending on what time of day it was taken, suspect around 16.00 the sun is going to be on the nose. Have the sides been touched up? As for the heat haze, that's going to be unavoidable.
As for Ryangooner's comment, "is it level?" just cracks me up! Indeed, there are far worse shots on the d/b taken at that location.
6. Grey bottom.

Dom,
You're in that very fine margin where the images are 95% there, it's just that last 5% is the hardest to achieve, I'd also say you got a fairly hard screener.
I've had a hard time with LHR in the summer, they're common subjects and you've got to get everything just so.

I was going to slag Fergul off in public but found my First Class expired this morning so I had to do it in private. I have still not got even with him for calling me a fat bastard - I am simply well built, not fat!
Anyway, the bad darks all look a bit on the dark side to me and I wonder if you should check or re-check your monitor as these can drift with time.
I think that in the Kuwait jumbo shot the screening has been particularly harsh. Yes, the highlights are verrrryyyy slightly blown but the photo is slightly contre-jour (as Germans say when speaking French) and I think the exposure is spot on.The examples Fergul uses above are good examples of the same type of shot.
I would re-process all of them, though the Kuwait one might be worth an appeal.

where it was not dusk/dawn although not a full daylight as well. It was somewhere in between and Dominic's photos reflect that. Why to make day brighter than it was?

Quoting Jon01 (Reply 21): Common aircraft, high summer sun, heat haze, contrast, common airport, high temperatures etc.
We've all been through this.......
Great advice there Jon
So what your trying to say is that photographers should cease uploading Heathrow shot's from now on? Stop uploading 747's? Stop Shooting in High Temperatures?
My upload ration was not affected either because I hadn't uploaded 50 photos before the rejections it only changed part way through so it actually went up wooho

It doesn't when you appeal a photo.
But well done good to see it in, feels great doesn't it!

26 JumboJim747: Its on the upload page just under the email or photographers name section.
27 Eadster: Out of all those, the one that got accepted is the only one that I thought would not get in. Have a close look at the wheels. They don't look round. I
28 ANITIX87: I definitely can't find it. Haha...I'll keep looking though, thanks anyway. TIS
