Post Screen JK

Mon Mar 07, 2016 8:36 am

Hi guys,

looking for some feedback on my latest rejections.

CI77W:
https://www.airliners.net/addphotos/r...6592068.3744img_6209acrop_anet.jpg
Was done for "overexposed" and "soft".

I know that overexposed is used as well when screeners feel a shot is a bit bright, so no need about a discussion that it isn't technically overxposed. But I don't even think it is particularly bright?!

LH Siegerflieger:
https://www.airliners.net/addphotos/r...6_h1456560086.5623img_6076anet.jpg
It was done for "not enough quality for 1600px"; soft and high-in-frame.

Even after sleeping over it, I can't see why the quality shouldn't be there, nor do I see any real soft spots. But high-in-frame? I can easily find recent additions that are higher..
So I am looking forward for other opinions. What do you think on these?


Thanks,
Julien

Sometimes "overexposed" is (incorrectly) used for what should be a contrast rejection when they want darker blacks or midtones, which I believe may be the case here. The whites certainly look well controlled.

If that's high in frame, I'm afraid the quality team will have to go back and trash about a solid half of the database...

Quality looks ok to me, could use a touch more sharpening.

   Plus there have been far higher additions in the last few months.

Needs more contrast. Sharpening doesn't look that bad, but perhaps a small increase will make it look better (careful not to oversharpen the titles. Those look fine for me as is).

I find the tail soft. Don't agree with HIF and quality.

Sometimes more contrast makes a picture look inherently "crisper" so you might kill two birds with one stone there.

Thanks for all your responses!

Unfortunately it seems like we all have no clue..

I appealed the LH Siegerflieger based on your comments, still EVERY rejection reason was upheld with the comment "quite soft. Better smaller at 1.200px"
What I don't get about the appeal process these days is, that at least from my personal experience (can't tell about others), it is either black or white these days. Either a shot will get accepted or every reason will be upheld, there is nothing inbetween anymore. When I started it happened that maybe some reasons were removed and I could work on the shots again. With that verdict on the LH, I certainly won't work on it again, it just doesn't make sense to do so.

It still happens at times. Sometimes reasons are added, sometimes removed.

The sharpening requirements seem to be a VERY narrow band these days. I certainly can't reliably hit it anymore.

As for HIF, I see photos added every couple days that are considerably higher. Always surprises me.

Indeed. I just do what I feel like now and wait for the rejection to figure out which way to adjust (if needed).

No comments on HIF...

Quoting vikkyvik (Reply 7):

Yes. In my three years on the site, I just needed to start using selective sharpening in the last 3 months. Neves used before that.

If it was just simple as that. The problem is, you never know who will screen your picture, and the other screener may have a totally different opinion from the first one. We need to edit them well and have some luck to get pictures accepted.

Exactly! That's why I don't feel being fairly treated on this one...

Yes I would sign that..

Hi guys,

Here I am back (possibly my only entry in a while as my editing notebook broke down unfortunately).

This shot got done for dirty with the comment
"Probably birds, but too small and unidentifiable. Better remove them"
https://www.airliners.net/addphotos/r..._q1457996812.9096img_6500anet2.jpg

Of course it is a flock of birds, which at least to me is visible on that size as well.
What do you think?

I know it is always a thin line between birds and dust spots. Still I am looking for feedback.

Took me a while to catch those "birds" on the screen 

In my opinion they should be cloned out. Only thing I recognised instantly was the departing aircraft, but when I first saw those "birds" my immediate impression was that they were dust spots.

Cheers,
Yang

I agree that if there is only this tiny dots in question then it is quite simple to remove them and reupload.

PS: I'm really envy that somebody can upload such shoots without instant rejection for large size

If you're talking about the three tiny dots above the tail, then definitely remove them.

Well, thanks everybody.

Let'see when I can do this.

Technically yes,. But without your editing PC, without any editing software and without access to your original flie it is actually not easy at all. That is the only reason why I asked.

I counted 10 so no longer a multiple of there  Rule of thumb here is anything speck like pretty much needs to be cloned out.

This post is probably overkill given the above replies, but I agree that it's better to remove them.

No it isn't. I appreciate your input anytime, Kas!
