The problem is, there's a gently sloping hill in the background, so I leveled with the vertical walls of the building. Do you have any suggestions on how I should level it?

When I level I like to take a look at the whole background and not concentrate on specific poles and buildings. If you do that with yours you can easily see it's leaning ever so slightly to the right and can use a little CCW rotation. Poles are great are but for shots that have that type of landsape I like using the whole horizon as a guide.

Looks better but the image looks slightly soft to me.

Hi Damon
I think the new version is better in terms of level, but I also think you've overdone the contrast or levels adjustments - a little more contrast would be better and it's a bit soft around the nose as well. On my screen at least
Very nice perspective though!

No chance of appeal for this one I'm afraid, the contrast is way off giving the images a very misty appearance. A full re-work for this one I would say.
Good luck,

A quick look at my photoshop eyedropper tool shows four points on the fuselage that are (RGB) = (178, 173, 180), (138, 136, 139), (117, 112, 117), and (236, 234, 237).
The sky is pinkish, that's for sure. But the plane should be pretty close to white. Does it show up pink on anyone else's monitor? And would anyone know why that would happen?

Make sure your color work settings are set to sRGB as this is the only color profile Windows based browsers will resolve correctly. Adobe RGB will have a 'washed out' look when viewed via the internet.

Here's my normal process:
1) I shoot RAW, with Adobe RGB color space.
2) In CS2, I edit in Adobe RGB color space
3) Before saving a JPG, I convert to sRGB
4) Save and upload.
Is this a problem? I've noticed that the A.net scripts don't seem to like handling any JPG besides those encoded in sRGB.

Well your gaining nothing by working in Adobe RGB because when you do the conversion sRGB you 'loose' the colour range from ARGB and PS replaces the colour with what it thinks is the best substitution. The only advantage of using ARGB over sRGB is if you are having your shots professionally printed. Most highstreet printers, like Photobox used by a.net expect sRGB format. And again all Windows based browsers will only reproduce sRGB, any other format will washed out of have a colour hue.

Hi Damon, I have looked at your latest image and it still appears to have a pinkish hue to it. I have removed some of it in this modified version of your image.
Hope this helps .. Jid
