What is A.net acceptance policy of shots containing in the bleow part also a part of the fence surrounding airports ? Is it a 100% "no go" ? Thanks in advance.

Should be OK as long as it is does not cover the airplane.

Jajo,
is it ok also with shots depicting just the plane in the blue sky and part of the fence is visible ?

This one is unacceptable even though it's a very rare photo:

But I've seen some photos with the fence without interfering the subject.

So, as far as I understand the important thing is that the fence does not interfere with the plane...Thought it was considered a "distracting" part of reality to have on a pic....

If the fence is not drawing too much attention from the main subject it is ok. Like on the example in my first reply where the fence is no more distracting than the grass on the ground.

Obviously the fence cannot block the aircraft.

It should not be too distracting also. A heavy duty iron fence is worse than a line of barbed wire for example, but this also depends on the background -does the fence stand out much? Each case is different - use your judgement.

Here's a heavy duty fence in the foreground that is apparently acceptable, I think because there's not much of it and the background is dark. The shot was rejected but not for motive.

The pop-up ads are more distracting than that fence Big grin

Were you lying down on the ground when you made it?

Seriously though, you may want to give it a try, it's an unknown territory for me.

Best regards.

To be honest the fence is very distracting and i would almost certainly expect a motive rejection.

Also its not as if its a rare bird or anything, there will be plenty more chances to shoot a TAP 319 without the barb wire!

I agree with Speedbird, this is most likely a motive-rejection because the fence is distracting. Try shooting from a different spot! In Sweden photographers are allowed to use a ladder to get pictures without the fence. But I don't recommend it without first checking with local authorities if it is ok.

Sorry guys,
but that shot is already in the DB...I have a almost identical one waiting to be uploaded...and was just wondering about the NOA motive issue...

Had this one rejected for motiv. Only thing can be the fence but I don't think there is too much of it in the pic.

In that case wouldn't it make more sense to show us your shot? - motive is very subjective and if i understand you correctly dont see the point of linking a shot already in the database??

I took that shot as a reference. I feel a bit puzzled these days about the NOA motive...

If you look in the database for photo's at MAD you'll find loads taken at a spot where the fence is (in my opinion) very distracting. In fact, not only is there a fence in much of the bottom of the frame but there are also lamp-posts, a road, road-side barriers and traffic signs. The problem isn't so bad with smaller craft but with heavies it just looks terrible in my eyes (no offence meant to the guys who take such pics at MAD - I realise it's the only place to get ground shots from the perimeter and there's not a lot that can be done about it).

Fences are fine aslong as they do not 'ruin' the shot, either by distraction or covering aircraft parts.

That rejection would be because of the crop, too close to the aircraft, and because of the very large and near fence post to the right, too distracting.

Never knew it's possible to crop too close to the plane.

Yeh, I believe there was a recent thread with a reply from some screeners, however most will say "crop" in a personal message to you if you get a Motiv for that reason.

Funny enough, I was just thinking about this myself few hours ago after seeing this shot:

The fence is just clearly visible in the picture, not anywhere around the aircraft but just over it running across the rear part of the fuselage in the same direction with the tail! Slip or not? It seems quite obvious for me at least...

Bula!
