I recently uploaded a photo of AN-225 taking off from Istanbul.
When I was shooting, aircraft took off very quickly so I was quite distant from take-off location ( I was outside of the airport about 4.5 kms from the take-off point). However my luck changed as the airplane passed directly over my head and I had a chance to shoot its underbelly.
I uploaded the photo and it was rejected due to "Oversharpened, low contrast and common." I have re-edited the image and send it again but my editing was not good enough so I was rejected due to " Overshaprened, low contrast and common" again but with a nice note from screener telling how I can I improve cropping. So I want to try to edit the third time with proper cropping and see if I can overcome oversharpened and low contrast issues during editing.
However I do not know how should I re-act to "Common" comment. An-225 is a unique aircraft and over a thousand photos of the aircraft in the database only 4-5 are underbelly photos in the air.
They had a special event at New Istanbul Airport that day and a lot of spotters had a chance to shoot the aircraft at the side of the runway while it was landing and taking-off and also at the tarmac. So there is a lot of images of An-225 shot from the inside of the airport during that day, so I was wondering if my image was selected "Common" not because of type and angle but because type and location of the aircraft?
If that is the case, should I not bother to upload the third time?

Man, that's a tough one and doesn't seem all that consistent. How many WN 738s landing at LAS are in the database? Hopefully this gets pushed through. Seems very nitpicky.
Re: Tips on "Common" comment
The Acceptance Guide has an explanation for when the reason "Common" is used. I believe it should help clarify. Typically, if there are over 100 images of the registration/air-frame in the DB, the standards for acceptance are more stringent. In such a case, "Common" will be assigned as a supplemental reason for the rejection.

Re: Tips on "Common" comment
Hmm, not sure that’s right - a plane of which there is only one in operational existence shouldn’t ever get the ‘common’ tag IMO, regardless of the rules. It’s so common that I’ve never seen it.
Yes, I know a second AN225 technically exists, so I’ve narrowed my comment above to prevent nitpicking.
For the image we would have to see how it looks.

While a unique frame (accepting your caveat), there are nearly 1,000 shots of it in the database. Personally, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to apply the “common factor.

Now you re-submit in the "historical" category.
