My first Anet upload in a long time, unfortunately rejected for grain:

These both got rejected for undersharpening:

http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject_b.php?id=1651605

Should I re-edit and try again? I can probably do a little more sharpening without introducing too much noise, and these aren't THAT soft...right?

What's funny is that I thought both of these were better than the one that got accepted :)

The Virgin America looks salvageable to me. Try sharpening in layers so that you can erase the jaggies if they start to appear around the titles and reg. The second one will be harder. It looks like it's a bit overexposed in the white part of the fuselage and I don't know that you will be able to recover the titles.

Good luck!

I actually didn't figure out how to use layers for sharpening until after I submitted these, so I'll give that a try on the VA one.

I was kinda disappointed about how the Jet Airways one came out of the camera, but it was a significant event so I had to give it a shot :) I figured it would get rejected for overexposure.

Thanks for the feedback!

Also, how does one go about joining the nycaviation group on jetphotos?

Both are noticeably soft, if you are using PS I'd select only the plane and sharpen the plane only.

I gave that a shot on Virgin Amerca, by using the magic wand to select the plane, cutting it to a separate layer, and then Smart Sharpening that layer much more aggressively than I had previously. It made the plane sharp, but i kept getting a border around the plane when I merged the layers...is that not the right technique?

(I'm not tremendously interested in saving either pic, since I see at least one Virgin America every time I go out and Jet Airways was overexposed beyond help, but I'd like to get better at Photoshop...)

I sent a.net 10 photos, and all 10 got rejected. That's a personal best for me! I've noticed a common theme they like rejecting me for now..."Contrast", when a sky looks too dark blue. Also, when they think the first of my photos is deficient, it seems they like to carry it over to all of my photos. Here are some:

contrast soft

http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/reje ... _00385.jpg
soft

http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/reje ... 141new.jpg
personal grainy soft (I don't even know what "personal" means. It might be that there was a personal comment attached, but I never received the rejection e-mail from a.net, so I can't see it. Or, the screener personally hates me :D . Ironically, this exact photo - just a bigger size - was good enough to be published in Airways magazine, but wasn't good enough to post on the web. Go figure. *SIGH*)

I might try to refine my sharpening process a little, but no more a.net uploads from me for a while. Okay, my whining is over :borat:

Dang, I really need to work on my exposure apparently:

http://www.jetphotos.net//viewreject_b.php?id=1656274 -overexposed
http://www.jetphotos.net//viewreject_b.php?id=1656258 -overexposed
http://www.jetphotos.net//viewreject_b.php?id=1656238 -overexposed (I see this one clearly)

Only one not overexposed:

[flyboy 28]

Didn't really expect this one to get in, but oh well.
http://www.jetphotos.net//viewreject_b.php?id=1655921

The only thing I don't understand is the cropping reason. Can anyone clarify that one?

Look at the bottom of the photo, you can see some white from where you cropped it.

Blurry and soft?

The nose is blurry along with the nose being soft i think.

All rejected for being blurry or soft.

Could there be a problem with my lens or do I just need a new sharpening technique.

Why would you use layers? Use the magic wand to select the plane. Then deselect so your not sharpening sky. Expand by one pixel and use USM. Works perfectly. I really don't see the need to use layers.

Hmmm they are all soft. What is your sharpening technique? I have been doing some sharpening in ACR and then using USM in PS and it's working well. Don't get as many jaggies. If it isn't that you may want to send your lens in to Canon.
