Airliners.net Rejection

[BOLLO]

Re submitted my VC 25 and low and behold it was rejected again,this time the excuse was it was flat So i have totally re-edited it and will look in the morning as I've been told to go back to it 24hrs later and have another look.

I find that often works to be honest. I'll upload stuff and then check what I've got in the queue a couple of days later and think "That's absolute rubbish - that'll never get accepted!". Always helps to give it a break and go back to the image I find.

I wish I knew what he means by "flat" fecking new one on me that one.All I did was gave it a bit more unsharp mask and sent it back and now its flat.

It is worth remembering that sharpening works by increasing the local contrast, so a flat image may not be a sharp one.

It may even be worth thinking outside the box and using something other than unsharp mask, such as High Pass Sharpening.

I really can't see how this has been accepted

[Mike]

Because it'll be the only photo they have of it in that state !

It's better than a pic of an airline seat(which regularly get into the top 5).

extremely chuffed that one of my first two submissions to airliners.net got accepted

If you think photos of airline seats are bad, try this...

Need I say more? I can't even decide on the appropriate smiley for this...

That's a crappy photo,a bit bog-standard really - I bet it caused a stink when the screeners saw it.

[BOLLO]

I bet they had nothing else to go on so they put it on..I bet the Rubber dog muck hit the fan when that went on.

Second time lucky with this one after a complete re-edit.

Cheers for the pointers in the right direction chaps.

[Wallace]

The horizontal stabiliser a bit on the jagged side. There is a line between the engines that looks slightly jagged as well.

Selective sharpening is the answer, being able to target sharpening where it is needed, being able to back off the sharpening in difficult areas and mask everything else off is the way to go, retalively easy with a Photoshop layer mask, it can even be done in Elements.

Bit suprised by these two. Personal says 'motion blur'..? I thought they were amongst the best AH pics I'd shot, and are far better than many I already have on A.net.

Am trying the second again after a re-edit, interesting to see what happens this time around.

No motion blur whatsoever in those two Gary - the last one especially!

No clue what the screener is on about.

Thanks Ben, that's what I thought. Screener was a trainee which may have been a factor. Sure hope he wasn't thinking of the rotor blades...

Might be the fact I'm on a laptop, but the serial looks blurry to me

That's interesting. Which one; first, second or both!

Gary

[POL]

I'd be inclined to say both - It's more noticeable on the first one though, as the serial is closer. How does it look on the full-size?

[DeanW]

I don't think they're too bad - especially the first one. I've certainly had softer chopper images accepted, but I always thought they were a bit more lenient with the sharpness of props and choppers than jets.

[Mike]

Dean,I think you need to re-phrase that.
