This one was rejected for being oversharp & common. I can reduce the sharpness no problem in the next edit, however I'm thinking of lodging an appeal because I do not think it's enough to warrant a rejection.
My concern is the "common" rejection & with 158 photos already in the db that it might just be too difficult to get on here.
Any thoughts on how to tackle this? Thank you.
Common
The aircraft depicted in your photos was very common in the Airliners.net database, with many photos of this aircraft already present on the website.
In this case the standards for acceptance are higher than for aircraft of which we have fewer or no photographs on the database, and only photos of exceptional quality will be accepted.
Please understand that this is not a judgement on your abilities, as your picture may be of a technical quality which may be very decent. However, due to the common nature of the aircraft photographed, the highest standard is applied to avoid substantial duplication.

Common should only be used in conjunction with another rejection reason. If you fix the rejection reason, then the "common" should go away.
