Seems my old thread is locked up, and that one is getting too long anyway, so open up this new thread.
Got two rejected for dark, these are sunset time pics, actually sun was below or almost all below horizon at that time, so I want to keep the acurate light atomesphere of that moment, I did not brighten them up too much, that won't be natrual. Do you think I should appeal for these two? Thanks!

Yes, the first two I screened, there is quite a bit of room on the histogram on the right side, and a corresponding contrast adjustment on the left will boost the contrast.
Agree with Dana on the third - needs some more contrast, the blacks are milky.

Thanks Dana and Alevik, will adjust those 3 and re-submit.
And these 2 nose/head shots were uploaded today, please comment, thanks!

Thanks Dana!
I had a few more rejections for soft, so I am backing off and upload more 1024 size pictures. Here are a few, please comment on them. Thanks in advance!
If you read the rejection guide, you'll notice that dark rejections aren't given solely for underexposed images, but also for images with really poor light (i.e. backlit, etc..), so don't always assume a dark rejection is for underexposure. The UA isn't underexposed, but the light is difficult, and it is somewhat noisy.

Thanks again, Dana.
These two were taken at sunset time, I try to frame the Chicago Skyline in, also it was getting quite dark, light condition was not great, but I want to hear your comments.

Both a bit dark, and think the sky line is a bit too distant to be compelling enough to justify the centering, at least on the first. The second is probably good enough for centering.

Dana, thanks! I will brighten them up a bit and re-center.
How about these 2 from YYZ? not sure about the color, please comment.

Thanks Dana.
Just got a few rejections, some I could not understand, please help.

Dana, thanks. Here are two re-submissions.
This 738 was rejected for a green tint, so I tried to correct that, now is better?
and this AA MD-80 was rejected for level and wrong category, actually I found the level is difficult on this one, here is the new upload, please comment, thanks!

Quoting powwwiii (Reply 15): This 738 was rejected for a green tint, so I tried to correct that, now is better?
Whites look neutral, but the sky is still a strange hue... were you shooting through glass?

Looks dark and maybe needs a touch of ccw rotation. What category had you selected?

yes, the Jamaica was through glass, so the color is difficult.
The AA MD-80 was selected for dark, although sun was not totally below horizon yet, so that was wrong. It was also suggested to give a bit CW rotation, I just did maybe 1 degree of CW rotation to it to get this resubmission. Actually, it should be leveled to the horizon, although horizon itself could not be framed in.

Hi there, just got 2 rejections for level, which I think might be questionable.
This first one, if look at the building, may need a bit CW rotation, but if look at the runway, then it is very level.
Then this second one, the building in the background is NOT parallel to the runway, so it does not look level if just look at that, if to make it look level with some CCW rotation, then the approach angle is wrong.

I didn't screen these, but will offer my opinions.
The first one is a bit tricky but on the balance I'd say it needs CW rotation.
The second one is in clear need of CCW rotation based on the buildings leaning to the right. I almost slid out of the right side of my chair looking at it.

thanks Peter and Dana, re-edited and resubmitted. Hope they will pass this time.

Thank Dana. Time to re-submit some revised pictures, please comment on them. These were taken around sunset time, so warm light. The united Express actually was after the sunset, so maybe a bit dark? I am concerned with soft/oversharpen, contrast, etc. Thanks!
25 dlowwa: Sharpness seems ok; the light is borderline at best for the two AA, and probably makes the UA a no-go.
26 powwwiii: Thanks Dana, please take a look to see if these still have vignetting or other problem, thanks! http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/b...ady/x1334191893
27 dlowwa: AA top left corner is darker than the rest, and there seems to be some halos around the aircraft. The DL definitely still has vignetting and is maybe
