Pre Screen Feedback Please

airkas1 · Tue Mar 12, 2019 5:01 pm

FWIW (late reply) I agree with Harry. The composition of the second photo is excellent though!

ChrisLait · Wed Mar 13, 2019 10:47 am

Thanks Kas. I’m pleased to hear your thoughts on the composition but that makes the fact it looks blurry really frustrating! Do you think it is something that could be lessened with a touch more sharpening band a smaller image size?

ChrisLait · Wed Mar 20, 2019 8:22 am

Just a quick update .. the 3 F-18s in flight was accepted today in a smaller picture size. Very happy :-)

ChrisLait · Sat Mar 23, 2019 9:19 am

Hi community

Just after some feedback on this Air Asia X A330 as I am not 100% sold on it

https://i.ibb.co/d2BzcSB/Air-Aisia-X-A3 ... 319-V1.jpg

Thanks
Chris

ChrisLait · Sat Mar 23, 2019 9:23 am

Please ignore the above post #354 as I tried to delete it but can't. Image was already rejected .. not sure why I didn't realise this before posting. Sorry.

ChrisLait · Sat Mar 23, 2019 9:46 am

Hi

Just after some feedback on this one please. It was taken at an airshow and I am not sure if there is too much going on and therefore may be a motive rejection?

Thanks
Chris

ChrisLait · Sat Mar 23, 2019 9:57 am

.. also after some feedback on this F-18. Is the jet exhaust on the left wing too much to be accepted?

Thanks again

jelpee · Sat Mar 23, 2019 3:01 pm

Hi Chris,

The Falcon has some darkening on the upper edge, but passable for me since on wide angle shots it is hard to avoid. There is no obstruction to the aircraft so motive should not be an issue.

The Hornet could use a bump in exposure and contrast: check the histogram.

Cheers,

Jehan

ChrisLait · Sat Mar 23, 2019 10:43 pm

Thanks Jehan. I’ll adjust the Hornet and see if I can get rid of the darkening on the Falcon - but if not it’s good to know it would be ok as is.

ChrisLait · Sat Mar 30, 2019 3:10 am

-019: heat haze
-021: blurry front half
KC30: underexposed (tough light)

The rest looks alright.

ChrisLait · Sat Mar 30, 2019 8:57 pm

Thanks Kas. I’ll fix what I can and look for alternatives to the blurry ones. Appreciate the feedback

ChrisLait · Sun Mar 31, 2019 2:08 am

I have re-edited the images from my last post that needed review. Can I please get some additional feedback on the edits?

HarryLi · Sun Mar 31, 2019 2:30 am

Hi Chris,
AGU : Still looks soft or me especially the rear/tail part seems very soft.
YAB : Level looks better now. But the wing and the tail looks soft/blurry IMO.
KC30A : Underexposed and little bit low contrast for me.Light angle /condition was not quiet good.
F35A : Front / Nose area looks blurry for me rather than soft.
019 : Not bad & better IMO,but there are some dirty specks in the sky.
021 :The same as 019.

Regards,
Harry

ChrisLait · Sun Mar 31, 2019 4:09 am

Thanks Harry... and thanks for the heads up on the dirty spots. I have been using a lens with a filter on it that I don't normally use and obviously its dirty as I have been getting a few like this. Too focused on the planes .. have missed the dirty spots elsewhere! The light was harsh too being the middle of an Aust. summer day so I will do the best I can with these.

Thanks
Chris

ChrisLait · Sun Mar 31, 2019 5:03 am

Hopefully I am now getting closer with these 3 ...

Hi

Just after some feedback on this Qantas 737 taken last night right at the end of sunset

Thanks
Chris

spompert · Sat Apr 06, 2019 7:28 am

Nice light but I think the plane is just too dark compared with the sky. It would be different I think when it was more a silhouette.

ChrisLait · Sun Apr 07, 2019 4:35 am

Thanks Stefan. I appreciate the feedback. The original out of the camera looks close to a silhouette so I will see what I can do with it darkening it rather than than increasing exposure.

airkas1 · Mon Apr 08, 2019 4:13 pm

I agree with Stefan. Also looks a bit blurry/lots of noise reduction used.

ChrisLait · Sun May 12, 2019 9:00 am

Hi Community

Just after some feedback on this Thai A350 please. Was a cloudy day so the light was not the best but hopefully it is still acceptable.

https://ibb.co/WBLR8y3

Thanks
Chris

fsx98 · Sun May 12, 2019 12:00 pm

This photo could be potentially soft and underexposed; maybe an extra kick of sharpness and lighter exposure (and/or lighter shadows) would help, unless if anyone else wants to chime in.

jelpee · Sun May 12, 2019 12:58 pm

Sharpness is OK for me; definitely could use some additional brightness and contrast (check histogram). Also needs some WB adjustment: image has a brown tint.

Cheers,

Jehan

ChrisLait · Sun May 12, 2019 2:00 pm

Thanks guys .. much appreciated.

Have done a little bit of re-editing to tory and capture your feedback and also provide a bit of a better contrast between the clouds and the aircraft so they didn't blend as much when I lifter the brightness.

Do you feel this is now any better? https://ibb.co/Bt7vnMt

Thanks
Chris

airkas1 · Mon May 13, 2019 6:33 pm

Hi Chris,

Still looks a bit underexposed and brown. To solve the 'brown', use a cooler white balance.

ChrisLait · Sun May 19, 2019 9:02 am

Thanks Kas

ChrisLait · Sun May 19, 2019 9:25 am

Hi All

Just after some feedback on this Etihad Dreamliner arriving into sunset this evening.

https://i.ibb.co/HF1rcFL/Etihad-787-9-D ... 519-V1.jpg

Have been having a few too many rejections recently so just want to get some confidence back.

Thanks & Much Appreciated!
Chris

jelpee · Sun May 19, 2019 3:14 pm

Hi Chris,

it looks a bit soft to my eyes, but otherwise passable for me.

Jehan

airkas1 · Sun May 19, 2019 4:17 pm

I agree with Jehan.

ChrisLait · Mon May 20, 2019 12:14 pm

Thanks Guys .. much appreciated - image has been sharpened and now hopefully better?

https://i.ibb.co/9qDqLD0/Etihad-787-9-D ... 519-V2.jpg

Can I also get some feedback on this Singapore 777? Just not sure on it.

https://i.ibb.co/qjWBqkq/Singapore-Airl ... 519-V1.jpg

Thanks
Chris

jelpee · Mon May 20, 2019 11:20 pm

Hi Chris,

The Ethihad still feels soft...perhaps it is the lighting. I softness in the main titles, nose, nose gear. The rear of the aircraft looks fine.
The SQ is marginal. The nose has blown highlights and also look blurry to me.

Jehan

Starfuryt · Tue May 21, 2019 3:19 am

Etihad shot looks too red to me personally, perhaps play around with WB a little

ChrisLait · Tue May 21, 2019 10:31 am

Does this look any better? I have sharpened the front end up a bit

https://i.ibb.co/Ct9ZSH3/Etihad-787-9-D ... 519-V3.jpg

Thanks
Chris

Runway28L · Wed May 22, 2019 6:47 am

Crop is a bit too tight for my liking. Looks a bit soft still but better than the first one.

ChrisLait · Wed Jun 05, 2019 8:33 am

Hi All

Just after some feedback on a couple of rejections.

QF 737 - https://www.airliners.net/user/photo-co ... to/5536391 . Has been rejected for halos, soft and underexposed. Can I have feedback mainly on the halos as I have reviewed in photoshop (equalise function) and can't see where the halos are. Also have reviewed the histogram and don't feel the image is under exposed but I am happy for feedback on this too.

AC A330 - https://www.airliners.net/user/photo-co ... to/5536435 . Has been rejected for dark, soft and CW Rotation. This one I am confused by as I am not sure what the CW Rotation issue is when it's in the air? I understand what this is and how it is applied on the ground or if there is a horizon or straight edges but this one is landing. Also have reviewed the histogram and don't feel the image is under exposed but I am happy for feedback on this too.

Thanks in advance for your feedback on these 2.

Chris

jelpee · Wed Jun 05, 2019 3:22 pm

Hey Chris,

Those links do not seem to be working. For me, it takes me back to my own images that are awaiting screening.

Jehan

Hi All

Just looking back at some of my past shots that I haven't uploaded for whatever reason - found this QF A380 and have re-edited. Would appreciate feedback on if it would make the site

Thanks
Chris

airkas1 · Thu Jul 04, 2019 4:51 pm

Kinda sharp, but passable for me.

ChrisLait · Fri Jul 05, 2019 11:45 pm

Thanks Kas. I'll pull the sharpening back just a little before uploading

Hi .. this one is for one of the screeners on the site ..

I just after some feedback on a recent series of rejections ...

Have had a number of recent rejections for High in Frame. I haven't changed how I frame an image so I am a little confused as to why all of a sudden the rejections.

This is an example of one that has been rejected (and then rejected on appeal) - https://imgproc.airliners.net/photos/ai ... 8cd832c1dd

However .. I don't see the difference between the rejected one and this one which was accepted into the database a while ago (which is similar in framing to a lot of images in my profile) - https://www.airliners.net/photo/Qantas/ ... 38/5593761

Can someone please explain the difference to me so I can fix whatever is felt is wrong? (and please not with the same sarcasm used in the personal message of the rejected image)

Thanks for your help

Chris

spompert · Sat Aug 10, 2019 12:25 pm

Hi Chris, it's never a good thing to compare accepted photos with rejected ones. It's better to look at it from a objective view. Your photo looks slightly high in frame to me. Probably because of the high tail in combination with the horizontal position of the plane. The accepted shot looks also a bit high in frame to me. Not sure why sarcasm was used by the screener. Don't think that's a good thing though. Greets Stefan

airkas1 · Sat Aug 10, 2019 3:49 pm

That's not really super high in frame... Bit harsh in my opinion. But perhaps center the top edge of the fuselage instead of the fuselage itself. That will for sure not cause any HIF rejection.

ChrisLait · Sun Aug 11, 2019 5:29 am

Thanks for the feedback. I will lower the composition slightly on all the images I have had issues with and see how I go.

Also, any thoughts on the pre-screen images request?

Thanks

airkas1 · Sun Aug 11, 2019 11:25 am

Jetstar, Qantas, Cathay passable

Sri Lankan is blurry, UE
Air China wing looks blurry, UE
Thai blurry
Jetstar(1) blurry
Jetstar (2) soft
Jetstar (3) HIF
Etihad a little bit HIF

ChrisLait · Sun Aug 11, 2019 1:04 pm

Thanks Kas. Appreciate the feedback

ChrisLait · Sat Aug 17, 2019 11:54 am

Hi

Can I please have a pre-screen on this image?

Thanks
Chris

Crosswindphoto · Sat Aug 17, 2019 12:57 pm

To me it’s backlit or at best very top lit, I don’t think it will make it.

Tim

airkas1 · Sat Aug 17, 2019 1:19 pm

Very toplit and thus underexposed. Personally, if the photo doesn't have any personal value to you, I would bin it and try again with better light.
