Hi

I got rejected this photo : https://imgproc.airliners.net/photos/ai ... 009a17c7b6

Here's why your photo was rejected:

- Distance
- Motive

The Screener left a comment regarding this photo:
"More a picture of smoke trails than a subject that we accept. Nice shot but not four our database."

Now, look at this photo



I appealed with telling about above shot, and rejected again "Screener rejection correct"

I'm wondering screeners' opinion.

Thank you in advance.

What the screener meant was that the main subject is not a picture of an aircraft or airport. The main subject is that of smoke trails in the shape of a heart and arrow through it. While there is an aircraft in the picture, it is too small to matter. Therefore, Distance and Motive are appropriate reasons to reject this image.

Regards,

Jehan

Hello Jehan,

Here's some examples





Just changed screening standard to no more these kind of picture?

Hello Geuwon:

We have accepted these types of images in the past and one from you as well. However, we are no longer accepting them. The accepted images will remain in the database but no new ones with this motive should be accepted. They are nice images, no doubt, but technically speaking they do not feature an aircraft or airport as the main subject.

Best regards,

Jehan

Now I got it, this is what I wanted to know.
Thanks!

I personally feel the site is needlessly shooting itself in the foot by not accepting such images as they pretty unique and therefore quite appealing.
