I don't think it is ............... you can still see the detail of the skin lines on the fuselage

but the way the rejects are going at the moment don't be too surprised / disappointed if it gets rejected

Good luck

Looks just a touch bright Fyodor but again a very close call - I'm sure someone could have let this one go.

I've seen worse over-exposure make it recently, including one of mine...

Try darkening it a bit and I am certain that it will look better. If you take a look at the mainwheels you will see that they are a very dark grey rather than a clean black and that is an indicator of either the image being either too bright or the contrast too low. Here the light is very harsh and I think that you have the contrast correct. Try darkening it a bit to the point that the 'smoky' feel to the black just disappears and I am certain it will look better, using Photoshop, levels probably 0.85 -0.9 on the centre slider, something like that. If there is a gap on the left of the histogram, youu could pull that in a touch too.
Most definately a correctable one

Thanks Mick,

To be honest - I did it especially as far as I thought 0-0-0 black was not good for photo. So dark grey give you a chance to see some details. If to look at hisogram only (not counting my argument), at the left side - yes, you right it is easy to solve the issue.

One more thank for this advise.

Hello.
Actually it is overexposed. You can see highlight clipping on the upper parts of the fuselage. If you have original RAW file and Phostoshop CS3 (or Lightroom) I suggest using 'recovery' slider. I'm sure it'll cope with that.
It's nice to shoot with RAW anyway.
