hello everyone. i got this picture rejected for dark, level, size and centre. as i thought they could all be fixed, i decided to have another go at it.
rejected photo:
edited photo:
right my questions are:
1) is the editing good enough? i'm using cs2 but i'm not very good at it, and i don't really understand histograms and the like.
2) if not, what should i do to improve? is there a good foolproof way to brighten images?
3) does this picture stand the remotest chance of acceptance? i use a samsung S630, going to upgrade to a dslr after my exams. but in the meantime i thought i'd try to get some shots uploaded with the s630.
thank you in advance for your feedback and advice.

Hi,
The image has so much noise in it that I doubt you'll be able to remove without compromising the quality to such an extent that it most probably will not make it in - sorry.
Just sit back, relax and have a glass of Merlot...enjoy your life!

Hi
You should correct the centering. The aircraft should be higher in the frame.
The picture quality is not good, I agree. There´s a lot of grain on the pic. I believe it doesn´t stand a chance.
The darkness on the tail doesn´t help, also. You should try to have the aircraft correctly illuminated, even on a night shot.
I find the level rejection a bit picky. Play a couple of notches CW and CCW and see if the image looks better.
Hope it helps.
Cheers
