Hello Dysko, Its possible the screener accidently ticked the wrong box. He might have meant to tick motive for too much empty space in the frame, but thats just my guess. You could appeal and then you would get clarification. The "photog" reason for a rejection is rarely used. Hope this he...
Jump to postYou should consider the vertical tail when centering the aircraft in the frame. Both examples are very nice photos but much too high in the frame. Try re-cropping both to lower the aircraft in the frame.
Hope this helps
Hi Rainer,
In the case of the first one, the Condor 757, the leading edges of the wings and stab and winglets are showing jaggies, not huge, but an indication of OS. Also, the titles are showing slight jaggies. There is often a fine line between OS and soft. I hope this helps you to see this

Hello Rainer,
To me, they all look slightly oversharpened. I don't recall screening them. Hope this helps
John
Both passable for me. You could upload as priority screening as neither of them are in the database here. Good luck!
John
A legend. I corresponded with Mick a few times and he was always very helpful. Taken from us too soon

Hi Rainer,
Under the present rules, once a photo has been rejected on appeal the decision is final. It can be difficult to draw the line on doubles. Sorry
John
Rainer, its technically a double, but there could be an exception due to the different view and sequence. I suggest you appeal the rejection. No guarantees
Cheers,
John

Andrew, exposure looks ok, but I would give it a bit more contrast. Those old AC schemes are looking faded with age and they look a little flat sometimes.
Jump to postYeah converting a Beaver designed in 1947 with a Pratt R-985 to electricity should be a cinch. Balancing the damned might be challenging enough.

Jump to postI find the existing WestJet livery dull and boring. The new livery is an improvement, but still doesn't really pop out.
Jump to postI welcome a new livery to replace that tired, boring one they have had for too long.
Jump to postActually, it looks blurry and soft. It might help if you were not using that slow a shutter speed. Even at 1/400 and with that 3 blade prop you would get nice blur on the prop. Hope this helps
Jump to postThat is very sad news. I enjoyed screening his images. Sorry for your loss Juan
Jump to postGlad you enjoyed your flight in the Beaver. That is an attractive price for an interesting flight too.
Jump to postGlad to see you have decided to come back. That photo would not make it unfortunately. It is quite low in frame and also needs some sharpening and ccw rotation. Hope this helps
Jump to postThe tail photo would not make it as the rudder is clipped and it is very noisy. The second photo is too low in the frame. Hope this helps
Jump to postHaven't been to Val d'Or, although I lived in Montreal a while. Probably best to go the earlier date.

Hi Karl, You will not likely find any 732's operating in Western Canada. Air North and Canadian North now using the 733's only from what I know. I see the odd 732's from the US coming into Kelowna for major inspections, but its unpredictable as to when they will be there. Nolinor and Air Inuit are s...

Jump to postAndrew, the aircraft is too high in the frame. The tail must be considered as well when centering the aircraft. The image is also over sharpened. Jaggies can easily be seen in the gap between the ailerons and flaps. A little less sharpening and lowering of the aircraft in the frame will result in an...
Jump to postThere can be no real satisfaction in "cooking" the books. What does it prove, other to say you are a cheat? Your prize is meaningless.

Thanks Pete
If a screener sees a dust spot anywhere on the image, very likely it will be rejected. Certain circumstances such as rarity or unique situations may be enough to gain acceptance, and probably the decision would be left with the head screeners.
John
Mohammed, you might try processing some images and then check to see if dust spots are visible. It might help to locate any that are difficult to see by equalizing the image. If dust spots are present, they definitely will show up on the equalized image. You can then clone any that you see from the ...
Jump to postI have admired John's work not only here, but at other sites as well. He was taken from us too soon.
John Olafson
Jaggies seen on the leading edges of the wing and also the tail surfaces. Wheels look a little oversharpened as well. This is fixable, just use a bit less sharpening.
Cheers,
John
If awards were given for Builder, or Hall of Fame.....Gary Watt "Granite" would be on top of the list.
Thanks for everything you did here Gary

A nice milestone for you Phil and an equally nice shot!

Well done Fyodor! Your images are amazing and I am a great fan of your Russian Flying boats. Looking forward to more in the coming years.

Thanks Mick,
I have sent my complaint to flickr and I hope they receive many complaints from those whose copyright has been abused by this individual. If flickr wants to retain any credibility, they must act on this quickly.

Congratulations Orlando, it's a very nice image and hopefully one of many more to come.
