Any tips on re-editing this one?

Jeremy the sky under the aircraft is a tad grainy, and the right wingtip is slightly blurry. Although, I think that has to do with the exhaust from the #2 engine.
See if you can clean that sky up a little and appeal. If it were me, I'd be happy to have that shot in my collection.

The sky is sort of a weird green-blue. It's also VERY soft, look near the American Eagle title and the registration.

Sergio, did you disagree with the rejection? What was the outcome?

Looks like all I got were a bunch of crappy shuttle photos - all rejected by A.net

Distance and Oversharpened

Grainy, Soft, and Dark


Looks like the JP.net queue is running nearly 3 weeks, so it will be a while before I see if they reject them also.

Think the first one is fixable. Little tighter crop, the cranes make the shot. The second one even with fixing the grain anet would shoot it down for motive with the people blocking the subject.

Nick, Airliners.net is flexible with people blocking the main subject if it is motivated. In this case, I believe the motivation would be met as the folks are "part of the scene" akin to ramp workers in front of a jet engine while preparing to depart or similar

As for the cranes, I agree, so it would be hard to crop tighter and get the cranes in the shot as well. It is always a judgement call on the screener's part. I can tell you if it were me screening it, I would be torn between the value of the photo, the artistic nature, the fact that the database is a database to begin with and not really meant for artistic photos (been there myself ) etc. Tough call but one that could likely be made by Paul as he himself has a few shots which are in the same nature!

A.net decided to go on a Cary Liao-rejection party today, rejecting 2 of 2 shots for "green tint", and now 2 of 2 shots for "low in frame". I did the centering by eye and using LR's grids. I just measured the top of the photo to the top of the fuselage and the bottom of the fuselage to the bottom of the picture, and came up with:

1st photo: 246px to top, 248px to bottom
2nd photo: 259px to top, 258px to bottom

Again, I eyed these in LR, and came within +/- 1px of being dead-centered. If they are rejected again, undoubtedly the excuse will be that the top and bottom of the fuselage don't constitute how it should be centered, and that I should move it up a little. Yet, overlaying one of them with a photo that was only rejected for "green tint", the centering is virtually identical (sans the fact that one is a 777-200 vs 777-300). Also, the only time I've seen where the measurements from the top/bottom of the fuselage don't work is when a winglet or tail is sticking too far up, and the picture should be centered to what feels better in thumbnail view. Am I being completely ridiculous here? I can't even appeal yet, because of my two "green tint" photos I'm appealing (I'll get to those later, depending on what they have to say).





"Low in frame" super-imposed over my 777-300 that was acceptably centered:

This is A.net, you have to be closer than that, Cary!

Rejected - Bad Double...

Ha!

Amazing. Now my China Cargo, taken 30 minutes after my "green-tinted" Avianca shot, at the same WB and Tint, and had been (wrongly) deemed to be only off-centered, has been rejected on appeal: "Centering passable, but has a slight cyan tint". Also, literally having the centering off by ONE pixel is "passable"?

[gonzalu]

I know you're gonna hate me for this, bud, but I notice it too and before you kill me, you know I am also on a good hardware calibrated Apple 30" Cinema Display and take color casts as serious as you do. I know you're upset but maybe you can be objective... take the night off and look at it tomorrow.



Auto-Color and Auto-Tone in PSCS5.5, nothing more.

[En11RVC]

Cary, just try appeal to head screener. Me personal opinion is both photos are good to A.net.

[Cary]

Oh Manny, Manny, Manny....you know you can't just post one color cast relative to another one like that. (Also the Auto Color is far too red to my eye.) But I can play that game, too

Better, left or right?

Unfortunately, I can't Enxian. This was initially rejected for only being "low in frame". After I politely informed them it was 1px from being centered on appeal, they rejected it for the cyan cast. So you can't appeal again.
