When cropping it should be pretty easy enough to set. Don't use free cropping. I always try to crop at 3:2 and when cropping make sure your image is centered and watch the edges.

Another option is to simply SELECT THE ENTIRE IMAGE with the Lasso Tool (don't use crop tool in Photoshop if you don't know how to use it :-) and then change the dimensions of the selection while holding the SHIFT KEY (which constrains the aspect ratio) or the shift key AND the alt key at the same time. The ALT key is a modifier to the first way which CENTERS your modification. Let me put together a quick video... brb

View this in HD... Note that I prefer the Crop Tool (unlike what I said above) because it is much more powerful But it can get you int trouble if you define your own dimensions etc. It will resize your image if you're not careful instead of cropping it. So, let me know if you like it. Remember the SHIFT or SHIFT [and] ALT while moving the control points.

Nah, I would suck at it I think... Maybe when I have 2500 images in the database, then I would have enough experience LOL. Although I do love to help :-)

Well here is another one for the personal collection. It is frustrating, because I think it is a good shot.

Any insight on "motive"

Jeremy, My guess would be the fence. It's rather noticeable and distracting.

I'm not sure what they mean by "bad motive".

Zee,
Motive on both A.net and JP.net means the same thing or close to the same. It means the MOTIVATION of the shot is unclear or poor to their eyes/opinion and it can be a broad brush. Generally any or all of:
--ANY objects blocking ANY part of the plane... even the slightest... For example, the slight shrub that may block an engine of a plane on 4L taxiing into position from Bayswater. If the fence touches ANY part of the plane. Any ramp warts... stairs, tugs, cargo bins, etc.
--Poor crop or not motivational crop. If the crop takes away from the COI of the image. If the image is unbalanced or otherwise, motive is unclear. Say you crop a bit of the engines, or one horizontal stabilizer but not the other, etc. These rules will sometimes be forgiven if the WHOLE image is balanced. Always think symmetry ... I always try to keep my plane withing an imaginary box that's perfectly centered. If the whole thing is not centered, don;t crop indiscriminately ... always keep in mind either horizontal or vertical balance.
--Two competing subjects and no clear winner. Say you have half a nose from one plane and 3/4s of another in the same frame. Which one is it? Motive rejection.
There are more but those are the big ones.

Hey everyone, I havent posted in quite sometime. I just got a rejection (here is the link http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject_b.php?id=3313161). As you will see underexposed and soft (unsharpened). I would like to know what everyone thinks and get some insight so as to improve my editing skills.
Thanks,
Matt
