Hi - I had a few rejections lately, and while I know I am not the most experienced guy around here in terms of getting photos ready for a site like this, my first reaction is that I don't see the issues they were rejected for. I'm not taking it personally, or going to get feisty or anything, just want to see if it's just me, or do these photos really suffer, and if so, I will do my best to fix. Thanks.
1 - US Airways - reason: overexposed color. Histogram looks ok, I can see detail on the nose and the light grey lines towards the back...the late afternoon sun is hitting it directly, so it's going to be bright...is it really overexposed? Is "overexposed colors" different from plain "overexposed"? http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/r...1343613933.351img_4124_7d-1024.jpg
2 - American Airlines - reason: colours oversaturated and blue cast colour. Here, the blue cast IMO is from the sky, and the blue sky reflecting off the top of the plane. The white stripe does not appear to be blue, just white. http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/r...343613844.8125img_4029_7d-1024.jpg

Color still looks poor on most, if not all of them. If you want, you can send me the RAW file for one of them (UA or US would be best), and I'll do an edit for you.

Thanks! Have shut it down for the night (on my iPad now) with an early flight in the morning. Will send first thing tomorrow. I assume no problems with large attachments?

Quoting jpmagero (Reply 9): I have loaded the files to Dropbox and sent you the link via email.
Yup, got it. Take a look at the quick edit I did, and you should notice a big difference, with the color. My edit is much more subdued than the almost garish colors in your edits. Somewhere along the line you're pushing the saturation way too high. My edit vs. your last one:

Got it. Agree with the more subdued colors, am probably trying too hard to lighten the underbelly and then screwing up the colors on the way. Will give these another go. Cheers.
One quick question...are you doing these edits in PS, or Lightroom?
