opening a new thread for my uploads, the old one has been locked.
Please comment on these two new uploads, which one to keep? probably can not have both because of the double rule.
These are the first 787 flight arriving at ORD, I like the second one better because the angle probably will be a bit different with others and the 320 adds some interest too. but the light was not as good, so I hope it can make it, what do you think? Thanks!

UA 738 - more of a cast here than on the others, that's for sure; if that helps, I'm not too sure.. It only really exists towards the nose.
I see no cyan on the BR MD11.
I hardly see a cyan cast on the A320.. If there was one, it's extremely faint. I'd probably add a wee bit more contrast to this one if you were going to edit it further..

Quoting powwwiii (Reply 2): Please comment on these rejections, both for cyan tint, I thought they are already a bit yellow, what do you think?
Yes, they all have color casts to varying degrees. Cyan/green on the two UA, and I'd say the BR is also a bit oversaturated. Check out the right side of the two below which I've adjusted:

Thanks NZ107, and thank Dana for the edition, now I can see the color tint.
Now, these two new rejections are for grainy and soft, I have taken many pictures with similar light condition, ISO was still 200 I believe, same work flow as many accepted pictures, never had a grainy rejection, soft is different question. so I want to ask for a second opinion to see if you see grainy and soft. thanks!
Colour seems ok.. But I'd probably tone down the images - the 2 E170s seem a bit overexposed for my liking.. Another sharpening pass could also be beneficial.

Thanks NZ107.
I just recently got a new monitor, seems the color and brightness are different with the old one, probably my eyes are already used to the old one. Please help me to calibrate my eyes to the new monitor. Here are three new uploads, please comment on the quaility, especially color, brightness, etc. Thanks!

AA and B6 seem ok.. I'd be inclined to add a bit more contrast to the UA 753. It just feels a little flat, especially under the wings and around the undercarriage.

Color is off, cyan cast or worse. Look at the top of the fuselage of the 67, the color is different than the rest. I see my fair share of AC aircraft, and can't say I've ever seen a similar effect.

1. A bit soft, possibly due to the noise reduction and still a little flat.
2. Might be ok but to me, it doesn't really add too much to the picture. Seems a little on the cool side too.
3. It's low in the frame to begin with and the other bits are distracting, especially the overhead light.
Still looks soft around the nose,left wing and along the fuselage-All the windows look quite soft.
Cheers Mark
25 powwwiii: Thanks Mark, so try one more time with more sharpening, how it looks now? http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/b...ady/u1357706823.8745dsc_3489-4.jpg
26 aussie18: Still quite soft around the center part of fuselage,made tad blurry the center windows above wing. Cheers Mark
27 powwwiii: thanks Mark! got this one rejected for the crop too tight, I used to like to crop a bit tight, maybe too tight, but seems not a problem for upload, so
28 DL747: Crop is a bit too tight for my eyes. It makes the plane look to be at a very strange angle. I think a bit looser crop would benefit.
29 powwwiii: thanks DL747. got two rejections, first one was for soft, and second one is for color. Please help me to see what I can do to re-edit. Dana, pleae hel
30 dlowwa: Both look a little yellow, and the first is a touch soft. Should be easy fixes.
31 powwwiii: thanks Dana for the quick response, corrected and reuploaded!
32 powwwiii: Hi there, this is a new upload, please comment on it, color, brightness or anything else? Thanks! http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/b...ready/v135912
33 DL747: Looks a bit low in the frame for me. Also, might be a bit harsh. Looks good to me other than that.
34 powwwiii: thanks DL747. Got two rejections for grainy, these were taken at sunset, so lighting was not really good, any chance to fix them? although I could not
35 DL747: Yeah, I don't see that much grain either. You'll have to wait for further input on that one.
36 powwwiii: thanks DL747. got this rejection for cyan cast and overexposure. but I only adjust the white balance very little to get rid of the yellow cast, now cy
37 DL747: Looks a bit cyan, yes. It appears the whites are a bit too strong, not sure if it is fixable. The SA symbol especially looks a bit blown out.
38 dlowwa: Overexposed, soft, and more yellow than cyan. It seems you have more problems with color than most. Perhaps there is an issue somewhere, either with

41 dlowwa: 319 is a touch dark & cyan; 57 is a bit bright/contrasty.
42 powwwiii: Thanks Dana, those have been corrected, hopefully they are fine now. Got a few rejections, and this one was for oversharpened to compensate a blurry/s
43 dlowwa: Yeah, hard to judge the sharpening on that one. All that wording/advertising on the aircraft is either going to look too soft, or oversharpened. Not s

45 dlowwa: Color's a bit off again on the first two, but otherwise they should be fine. Third one indeed has a cyan cast.
46 powwwiii: Thanks Dana! got 12 rejections today, mostly for dark, kind of surprise for me, will you please take a look? also I am uploading some new ones, please
47 dlowwa: Not much aircraft visible on the first, so motive would be a concern. Second has a very strong yellow cast. Sorry, I'm not going to go looking throug
48 powwwiii: Thanks Dana! Here is a new upload, please comment on it, dark? soft? Thanks! http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/b...ready/i1363391186.6783dsc_6526.jpg
49 dlowwa: Maybe a slight cyan cast, but I don't see it being too dark or soft.
50 powwwiii: Thanks Dana. Here are a couple of new uploads, please comment on their quailities, thanks! http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/b...ready/f1364089909.55
51 dlowwa: They look decent for the size, but as always, your chances of acceptance go down the larger you submit them at. The second has a slight cyan hue.
52 powwwiii: Thanks Dana! Resubmitting a couple, this 748F is sharp enought now? http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/b...ady/m1364741443.3997dsc_5981-7.jpg and this
53 dlowwa: Should be ok for sharpness. Not a good idea unless you are looking to receive a warning/ban for re-uploading. I don't see them as being too noisy, bu
54 powwwiii: Thanks again, Dana. That UA 772 was for Dark and Level, I brighten it up a bit. But based on the tower, I feel the level is fine. Definitely not looki
55 dlowwa: If you don't agree with a rejection, the proper recourse is to appeal. Simply uploading it again unchanged because you don't agree will get you a war
56 powwwiii: OK, I re-worked on that UA 772, less brightening and some CCW. Also trying to avoid bandings, I actually decrease the sharpening a little bit, and the
57 dlowwa: Banding is less evident, so whatever you did has affected it - most likely the noise reduction.
58 powwwiii: Thanks Dana, I think I learned something new about sharpening and NR. Anyway, got this one rejected for overexposed again after a re-edit. I really do
59 angad84: you do have a couple of reflections that are clipped (or close to clipped) but I have a feeling you could appeal that successfully. OR - kick up the s
60 dlowwa: Would be better with a slight reduction in brightness.
61 powwwiii: Thanks Dana, very slightly reduced the brightness on that one and resubmitted. Also resubmitting this one, it was rejected for cyan tint, heat haze an
62 dlowwa: I can still see it on the nose gear, though you might get away with it at this smaller size.
63 powwwiii: Thank you Dana! Here are a few new uploads, please comment on their quality. This AA is dark? http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/b...ady/k1366244317.2
64 dlowwa: No. A touch, yes. Definitely not. Actually a little yellow. Not meaning to offend, but do you perhaps have issues with color blindness? It could be t
65 powwwiii: Thanks Dana, I don't really think I am color blind. I can tell there is a color difference when I adjust the color temperature, my problem is I have n
67 powwwiii: Thanks for clear that up, Dana. This China Southern was rejected for oversharpening, as it was like this: http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/r...0421_
68 dlowwa: No, still looks pretty bad. I assume a fair amount of heat haze you tried to fix by oversharpening? Again, whatever you are (or aren't) doing in rega
69 powwwiii: Thank you Dana, I try to adjust the tint to remove the yellow, but doing that I also can see the image become purple or magenta, I am wondering how yo
70 dlowwa: Simple adjustment to the hue. I would guess it's something you're doing with the white balance or maybe saturation. Are you setting the white balance
71 powwwiii: so you just add more blue hue to the image to remove the yellow? or just decrease yellow? I tried to play with hue in LR but seem the effects were not
72 powwwiii: Got these two rejected for soft, or quality, I think both are ok in term of the sharpness, what do you think? Thanks! http://www.airliners.net/addphot
