Hi,
What is the exact rule on having people in photos? Obviously, this pic needs a better scan, but I haven't worked on it since I was told that there can't be people in pictures. The other photos are ones that I have found with other people pictured in more detail than in my photo (I don't mean to be rude or anything, I happen to like all of these photos a lot, but I just wanted to point this out). I have tried cropping the people out, but then the picture is very unproportional.

What if I blurred the face? Personally, I can't see anything bust his beard.

Personally, I would still reject the photo on the people grounds (assuming the scan was improved)
My reason: People do not add anything to the photo. If the people were watching the plane land, or waving it off, or something, I'd pass it to Johan who would make the final decision.

Do they really detract from the pic? I was as close to the plane as possible to get the entire thing in the picture... the people boarding just happened to be there...

Actually, I am a big fan of people in the photos. Take a look at my selection sometime.
However as S3 said as long as no visable faces are evident, it should be alright. Also make sure that the individual does not overpower the aircraft, i.e. is the main subject. As for your photo, well I like it (save for the poor scan) although the ladie's (I believe this is a female) head at the bottom portion bugs me......it seems to through the photo a little off balance. As for the face of the bearded man, well to my eyes, I see no reongnizable features, such as eyes so it may pass.

For me the whole photo composition is not good enough to get accepted. The people in the foreground are taking all the importance of the real subject: The aircraft. I would accept though it if only the guys at the rear door were on the shot.
Once I told the admin to please accept cockpit shots, even if the pilots were looking at the camera or their faces were clearly visible (like the incredible Mogren's cockpit shots). Why this? Because pilots like to permit to take photos if you tell'em you will show them at a.net, so they can tell their friends and family "hey look at this page, thats me on the pic". This has two positive sides:
1. They will allow us more often to take cockpit shots
2. A.net will get known among flight crews, which benefits all contributing photogs.
In any case, the events of Sept. 11th are actually spoiling all these oportunities and we surely have to wait some time to get some kind of cockpit access during (difficult) or after the flight.

apparently not. Screener told me the only reason it was rejected was because of a mech so I removed the mech
I did not add anything and made sure the alteration was visible (check under the tail, next to the guy whose legs are visible. There used to be a mech in a bright orange jumpsuit there).
I did ponder for a while whether to do it, then decided to do it in a way that was visible but not intrusive.
I would never ADD anything btw.

no offense taken. I don't like doing things like that too much. I never remove lightpoles for example, despite them looking very weird sticking up out of white aircraft. No changing the weather either of course
...I was wondering if it might get bounced for the "person in shot" reason. I mean, it's not like she's adding to the shot - she is this shot.
I'm not sure how "recognisable" she is though - she'd know who it was...and her mother might...but would you recognise her if you saw her in the street...?
...I wondered if the F/O might get into trouble (see the comment on the shot) if his employer saw this....or maybe Sir Richard prefers his flight crew to "chill out" en-route!
Again...he would recognise himself but you can't really see his face...

I would imagine that this photo (one of the older ones in the database) does not meet present standards.

Why would he get into trouble......all the times I have been on the flight deck, mostly international flights over the atlantic....that is how they make themselves comfortable.....
Ok back to the topic....
I sometimes wonder myself what the rules are......
Some pictures clearly show the face or at least you could identify that person and the picture was added to the database anyway....
I doubt that the photographer has the written approval by the person.....

AIRLINERS.NET CREW SITE ADMIN
Regarding the photo ID 190661, it has been removed from the database and the photographer has been warned that if this happens again we'll remove ALL his photos from the database.
It should be very clear to any user of this site that we do not accept such alterations. It is clearly expressed in the upload-FAQ.

Working on the site from morning 'till night that's livin' alright (1997-2007)

The picture was taken August 2, 2000 in Eilat... it was one of two commercial planes at the airport... the other an ATR flying for Israir. The VISA shot that I have was taken once I landed at Tel Aviv Sde Dov.

When people that you point the camera at smile or look happy and ok with you taking that photo I personally think that they allow you to take the image... Using the image shouldn't be a problem then!?
The kid in the cockpit is an acceptable shot I think.
