Airliners.net Rejection

[POL]

All,
Put this up on Twitter last night to get some constructive criticism, in the end this is what I have, does anyone else have any thoughts before I waste some time uploading it to Airliners.net?

Looks a bit soft Chris, especially around the winch. Bit of purple fringing on the wheels as well.

Cheers Ben, will apply a little more USM when I get home, where's the purple fringing? Can't see it on my monitor at work and my home one is a bit knackered anyway until I can recalibrate it!

Right on the bottom it looks like Chris, this wasn't taken with a Sigma 70-300 was it? Looks similar to the fringing my brother got out of his.

Thanks. I wish it was! Taken with the kit 75-300 that came with the camera, can't afford anything else at the moment

The purpling is most pronounced on the bottom edge of the left hand wheel, as we look at it, I think. The winch is a little soft as is the area just above it.

Cheers

[SteveS]

I just got my first rejection

So much for "they go easy on newbies"

Apparently it was to dark, maybe I should have shot it from the toilet or some how managed to get someone through the window on the loo and I would have been onto a winner.

First one looks a tad hazy, so maybe thats what they mean by contrast?

Others look fine, especially that A380!

[DeanW]

I think you were unlucky with the Eagle shot there Dunk! The others seem a little flat though, especially the PdF pic, but nothing a little tweak of the contrast and/or curves couldn't fix! Perhaps give the Emirates A340 a little kick of USM too?

[Dunk]

Thanks guys, will resubmit the Emirates bird after an edit!

[Charles022]

Emirates A340 needs contrast and so does the French Alpha
Other two are perfect mate!

[Dunk]

Can someone explain to me how the hell this got accepted, and when did the Red Arrows change to Green smoke?!!

It looks more like the Frecce than the Arrows. Its amazing what does & doesn't get accepted.

[BOLLO]

I've just had a shot rejected twice now,first time it was "dark".So i corrected it and now its come back soft .Also,is any of you boys getting emails with your shots that are rejected?I have had about six in the past month but with only one notification about one shot being rejected.Seems they can not be arsed letting you now as well.Lazy nts.

I thought the same when I saw that and was even more surprised when I saw it get into top top 5 of the last 24 hours. I wonder how close that is to the original image!

[DeanW]

Seems a little harsh there Monty, it's not like they're really soft or anything! One little kick of USM and they'll be fine.
