This Must Have Been A Mistake...

I have a suspision that this rejection reason was erroniously applied...maybe the wrong box was checked?

How can you reject this photo for "motive"...
http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/r..._3299_2006_02_16_BOS_N925UA.jpg???

I'll just assume that this was a mistake. Can I get the real rejection reason from the screener?

Also, this one was rejected for soft:

http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/r...IMG_3281_2006_02_16_BOS_N505AU.jpg

This was one of the many times where a personal message from the screener would have helped a lot. Was it soft in some areas, or the whole image? Image sharpening is one area that I have a lot of trouble with despite using suggested workflows. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello

For the first one I think it's Bad Motive because the tail is cut off !

And for the second , a little more sharpen and then it should be ok IMO !

Cheers

Thanks for the input, but I hardly think that is the case. I don't think I need to post examples to show that this "motive" has many other accepted examples in the database. Had to be a mistake. I will appeal this one, unless anyone has any other suggestions.

As for the second one, it was processed using the same workflow as all the others that were accepted. So why would it be rejected for soft? Was it soft just in some areas?

Joseph,

It's a great shot (nice lighting) but these things are subjective - I've had similar angles rejected. Appeal by all means but don't sweat it.

Well, I agree that it looks rather weird with the tail cut off like that.

I just don't understand how a particular crop could be so widely accepted, then suddenly rejected for motive. I mean, what's fair is fair, and this certainly is not.

I don't think that this kind of crop is widely accepted here on A.net; at least I don't recall having seen shots here in the near past where entire parts of the tail were cut off.
You might mistake the crop with crops that have stabilizers cut off but on your shot the entire rear part of the aircraft is gone and that's quite clearly stated as badmotive here on A.net.
If possible re-upload the shot with the tail in and it should work out ok.

Evidently you didn't read the Airliners.net Upload Page rules. You can find it here: http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/

One of the points states:
- Upload shots showing the whole aircraft with no part covered or cropped out.

Take it easy, its not end of the world.

You cut only 10% off the aircraft and that doesn't look good at all in my opinion. We shouldn't declare our pictures equal to others so easily.

Looks like motion blur, especially noticeable around the engine. Probably nothing to do about it, unfortunately.

There's plenty of shots on here with something cropped off, so that's not a steadfast rule, which leads to this confusion.

This is just another case of selective application of the "rules". Many pictures with portions of the aircraft cropped out were accepted in the past and on an ongoing basis...Sorry, but your reply is a cop-out.

Thanks for the condescending commentary. I hardly see it as the "end of the world". Just pointing out another batant example of screening inconsistency on this site.

I disagree that it is blatant screening inconsistency. In my opinion, this crop is not esthetically pleasing. Other crops are (in general) better. That I guess was also what the screener thought. There is no inconsistency in that. Just think by yourself - would this pic be better if I had not cropped it? If the answer is no, by all means appeal, if it's yes, try to rework it... Just my 2 cents...

Hi,

I would have gone with grainy as well but as no one else picked up on that the problem may be with my monitor.
Motiv, I am going to agree it is not an especially pleasing crop, should have cropped more or less of the tail.
I was going to link other photos to illustrate but you 2nd one is a decent example of a crop that works better.

If your camera sends text messages, that could explain why your photos are rubbish!

I can't remember exactly where it was in the rules but there is something about well motivated crops being acceptable and that is my way of doing things. I like tight crops and a good many of mine have bits missing. I crop at the taking stage rather than on the computer. Hopefully they are well motivated and as others have said, your example here looks awkward. I would have to say that I consider it bad motive too.

LOL in this very moment. I didn't get rejection email yet so I don't know the reasons.

Just laugh about it. I had many pictures rejected for bad crop Smile

IMO it does look better, but it still isn't perfect.. (In my oppinion that is)

A crop closer to the left engine could look better..
Now it looks bad centered!
