My photo got rejected because it was "underexposed".
https://imgproc.airliners.net/photos/ai ... 2b12792696
The letters and the vertical stabilizers are not white, and if I simply increase the exposure, I worry that I'll lose detail on the engine and the leading edge.
Any thoughts on how to fix it? Thanks!

Re: Help needed with "underexposed" rejection
Hello. I took your image into Photoshop and I think that either by lifting the midtones in 'Levels', or by making a similar adjustment using a Curves adjustment layer (where you have a little more control of subtleties), you can brighten the overall image, which does give it a somewhat less 'dark' feel to it, which it does have now. It has been so long that I can't now recall how to make a revised edit and post it here for you to look at - apologies.
I also took the liberty of cropping the image very slightly (I actually used a 16:10 aspect ratio) and I felt that suited the photo well, and also removes the slightly distracting barbed wire from the bottom of the frame.
Where is the image taken? It reminds me of a spot I found many years ago whilst on holiday in Kephalonia in Greece - a beautiful place.
If I can help any further do let me know.
Cheers.
Paul

Thank you for your reply, Paul.
The photo is taken from this spot:

I'll try adjusting the midtones. On my monitor the photo looks okay as it is - maybe it's a gamma problem on my side.

Wow! I wasn't even in the right country!
