Hi everyone.
Been a long time since I've uploaded photos to this site. Gave some a go about 2 weeks ago and many got rejected. I think I'm a biut rusty with editing at the moment .
I'd just like some advice on a few I have in the queue at the moment:

Hi SA006,
Ok at quick glance this is what I see (remembering I'm no screener!)...
1 - Overall looks soft, but on the other hand titles appear jaggered. Nice one and could quite easily be saved with another edit.
2 - I personally think this is a motive kick. It's just a wing showing not a great deal. No interesting weather, damage etc. I was looking for something thats just not there.
3 - Over edited. It's very jaggered on the tail, wings, horizontal stabiliser, titles etc. The whites look a tad blown out too.
4 - Not sure here, could get quality as it seems not quite up to standards. Just not sure though.
5 - Would look fine with another edit and less sharpening. This one jaggered too.
6 - This one "feels" unlevel. This also too seems to suffer from too much sharpening.
How are you sharpening your pics? Is it just a basic all over sharpen?

Hi Eadster.
Thanks for the reply.
I'm having a real problem with jaggies. I'm simply using USM at about 180 with 0.2 . I need a link to an editing workflow thats been going around here for some while , can't seem to find it.

Seeing that jaggies are a concern, try using layers with one layer with a non sharpened image underneath the sharpened one, then erase the jaggered parts.
As for the USM, it's strange that jaggies are appearing after only 180. Do you have the camera sharpening turned on? If so, might be good to turn that off just as a test.

My 8 cents:
1) Soft and very dark on this screen here. Try to use Magic Wand tool to not sharpen the skies.
2) Same as Eadster
3) Soft and overexposed
4) Looks very grainy
5) This one can be saved with a little less amount of brightness and more sharpening
6) Feels unlevel and is soft and jaggy, I'm wondering about motiv...
7) Just not special, haven't got a thing to say
8) It's soft, jagged, and it looks like the window had been dirty 'cause of everything blown out 3/4 top.
A kinda newbie here talking, haven't got a specially high ratio or amount of photos in the DB, hope nothing b***s*** what I'm saying.

#1: is slightly too low in the frame in my humble opinion.
#8: try to level using the vertcal lines in the center of the frame, ie, the far corner and the vertical lines just to the right of the far corner.
