Hi guys,
i want to start a general thread form myself, so that I don't need to open another thread for every problem.
I had some rejections last night. Bus as I these were my first night shots, I was more or less expecting it.
I am already happy that the colours were allright!
But I do have some questions where I need your help:
Contrast: Yes, okay. Soft: Well yes, can someone tell me where it is soft?
But why does it need a CW rotation? I adjusted the levels looking at the lamp posts and it seems allright for me.

Yes, the aircraft in the photo looks a bit blue to me, I would edit the whitebalance in the raw file. If you only have a jpeg, try editing the color balance.
Just like the shirt says, Boeing Builds It Better!
Do you really consider this as being low in frame?
I wanted to ask this question for quite a time now: for me the tail is part of the aircraft, too. So in this case it would be centered as it is. Only if you just look at the fuselage it could be considered low in frame.
Otherwise there is roughly the same space above and under the aircraft.
So should I focus the centering (crop) more on the fuselage?
Are the colours okay (I have to say that the apron light is quite orange in reality,too) ?
What about the levels?
Is the light in the BA-titles disturbing?

Thanks. I will try with a new edit!
25 JKPhotos: so here is the new edit: http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/b...7665615.3861img_4077a_acropnet.jpg The washed out effect should be gone? Any other iss
26 dlowwa: Better, but will still be borderline as it's somewhat backlit.
27 JKPhotos: Hi guys, I took some deicing shots yesterday. Problem was, it was snowing at that time. I'm afraid that because of the falling snow visible in the sky
28 dlowwa: No, grainy should not be an issue. That would be a good idea.
29 JKPhotos: Hi Dana, thanks. It is the first time I shot in such conditions. So I thought it would be better to ask than waiting 8 days only to get it rejected. I
30 JKPhotos: Another question: Would this be a motive rejection? (Because of the deicing truck) http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/b...532747.7137img_4428a2cropfin
31 dlowwa: Generally better if the vehicle is not blocking anything important (gear, engine), but the motive may be sufficiently interesting here to make an exc
32 JKPhotos: Thanks, I thought so, too. I will have a try. If it gets accepted fine, if not it will stay a nice shot for my personal collection.
33 JKPhotos: Hi guys, I was in AMS the last few days and had the opportunity for some photos. I have some questions on these two 1.) KLM MD-11: Level? I adjusted t
34 dlowwa: Ok. Yes. Yes, but only because of the tails in the background.
35 JKPhotos: Hi Dana, thank you very much for your kind feedback. I actually found it hard to level the pictures, because there seem to be a lot of unlevelled lamp
36 dlowwa: If the horizon is visible, that will always trump any verticals such as lampposts. No, this does not qualify for 'Tail' category.
37 JKPhotos: Ok thanks, your answer avoided a category rejection for myself. Thank you very much!
38 JKPhotos: Hi, I tried myself at some window-shots during my last flight. As trying to get a decent quality out of window shots is pretty new to me I am not so s
39 dlowwa: Sky is blotchy in both, and the first also seems to be suffering from some oversharpening/quality issues. Borderline motive on the second, but I suppo
40 JKPhotos: Hi Well, yes sitting on another monitor makes me realise that in fact the sky is really quite blotchy on both (could've seen this myself). I will try
41 JKPhotos: Hi, After a long time I just had some soft rejections again. EY Man City: http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/r...x1362346998.151img_4933a_final.jpg QR
42 dlowwa: Yes, they both need just a little sharpening.
43 JKPhotos: Hi Dana, Okay thanks, should be easily fixable then. Will do a new edit.
44 JKPhotos: Hi Guys, hopefully I can get another feedback. Made this shot yesterday. http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/b...64163680.0422img_5207cropfinal.jpg It
45 dlowwa: No, I don't think level should be an issue with this one.
46 JKPhotos: Hi Dana, thanks for your input! Perhaps I am worrying too much about the levels right now
47 JKPhotos: Hi guys, I have a short question on my newest shot. I took it with the very last light of the day, almost at sunset, 3 Minutes later the sun was gone.
48 JKPhotos: Hi guys, I made this shot on the approach to BCN, light was not perfect anymore as it was close to sunset. But given the nice background I would like
49 dlowwa: No longer in the queue? I would indeed suggest brightening it, along with adding a little contrast. The sky also looks fairly compressed, so you migh

51 dlowwa: Color looks fine, though it is soft. Did you add sharpening as well? Looks as though you did. That coupled with the increased exposure/contrast has a
52 JKPhotos: Thanks, I will add a bit of sharpening and then it should be fine. But this makes me worry of another shot I took on that day as I did the same workf
53 JKPhotos: Forget the question on the QR, it was just added to the db, so I guess it was allright. Can't change my post anylonger. On my window-shot I actually r
54 JKPhotos: Did a re-edit of both questionable shots. Unfortunately in case of the EK I wasn't aware that it was due to screening and so it was rejected although

56 JKPhotos: Hi Dana, I will absolutely avoid it, like I said before it wasn't on purpose. I did not pull it off immediately as I wanted to keep the comment for th
