And if its something small then feel free to add whatever it needs and email me the final copy and I'll credit you in the remarks (experienced photographers only if possible - sorry to be so rude)

Quoting conoramoia (Reply 7): But now considering motive rules have changed how does this one shape up?
Primarily focusing on the 'motive' issue, regarding vehicles and tugs etc., it is acceptable ( in my opinion) as the new rules state:
Quoting dlowwa: tugs...are allowed to block part of the aircraft as long as they are:
[1] not blocking engines or wheels (exception: tugs are allowed to block engines/wheels if towing aircraft,...)
So in my opinion, it should be acceptable for that stated above (the tug is active as the lights are flashing). However, regarding other things, such as quality, softness etc. I am not in a position to comment, sorry.

There actually has been no change in regards to tugs: they have always been allowed to block part of the aircraft, and you will find countless examples of such in the database.
It looks a little soft and not the best light, but might be salvageable.

Looks a bit soft in parts on my screen but then again I'm no expert in the sharpness of images. Mid-fuselage and tail appear to be the offending areas.
To be honest I hate judging the clarity of an image by a resized version. Is the original sharp?

Putting the aircraft a little lower in the frame will help eliminate much of the person bottom-right corner, but I can't see how said person can be ejected from the frame altogether.
Surely if this was re-cropped with the aircraft slightly lower in the frame (thus allowing less of the figure to intrude) it wouldn't be rejected for motive? I concur that the 'distraction' is OOF but it literally occupies about 2% of the frame.
