    The E90 is pretty obvious... I would say even heat haze and distant as well...

    The ERJ may be appealable (is that even a word? ), does not look oversharp to me... the SIMILAR sounds like some other pic in your queue, not yet accepted maybe?

    The MD-80 looks a bit over the border, maybe due to softness in the original and compensated for by extra USM in post... the jaggies should be TINY, as close to dots as possible... the longer they look, the worse your chances of making it look great at small resolutions. Try it at higher res (1300, 1400, 1500, 1600) and see if it looks any better... also go down to 1000px as well and see..

    The Beech 1900 is a bit blurry but the wingtip gives it away the most... it also is a bit overexposed/too contrasty to me, but could just be the snow reflecting (snow on the ground?)

    Yes I have has this problem with many small planes like that. As for the ERJ, I agree. And no, I don't have any other pics of it in the que, which is why I am confused. MD-80 I thought was fine but apparently not. Finally on the Beechcraft, I had a hunch it was blurry. Yes there is A LOT of snow on the ground! I'll try another picture of the Air Canada and see how it looks.

    The Chautaqua ERJ...you can see the tail# is severely over sharpened. On my monitor it is heavily "jaggied"

    It also looks soft in the nose area.

    Horizon unlevel again, 5th rejection on this for the horizon

    Do you really think the Air Canada was overexposed?

    The edge of the tower looks pretty darn straight to me. I wonder how they're coming to the conclusion that it's unlevel.

    The Air Canada has blown highlights, so I would recommend bringing down the exposure a bit.

    Had a few contrast rejects from this day.

    I assume it needs a bit more contrast?

    Try less...look at your histogram.

    Ya that's what I said! They're probably like, "UGHH!!!, not THIS guy again!! We are SO SICK of seeing gosh darn GRR! Lets find ways to reject his shots!" LOL! I do understand the Air Canada rejection and have revised the photo accordingly.

    I guess I do not understand. What component of the histogram should be guiding me? When I look at the histogram it looks a bit overexposed if anything. It seems to have a reasonable distribution of lights and darks.

    Is there a spikes on the extreme edges of the histogram? That's what gives the shot a harsh look. Also when you correct levels, are you doing it in RGB? Or are you doing it by individual color channel?

    I can still see a bit of CCW unfortunately :( Alex, this is really a simple matter of NAILING the level... you have enough straight lines to guide you.. not sure what you;re not doing but the arbitrary level tool should be useful instead of doing it by eyeballing it ...



    here is what the Air Canada Express should look like to my tatste (yours may vary). Aim to see details in the fuselage

    See if this helps... While there are sharp spikes, they are not up against the right hand side and also not too high up on the scale. Also, notice how the middle of the histogram got fatter? That means more data is now visible in that range of grays (yes, they are all grays per layer of color )



    Everything I learned about histograms and color correction after much reading on the subject, was from the great Dan Margulis. I suggest you read him and learn a lot about how digital data is stored and used to represent real world scenes. Absolutely great learning from any of his books. The ...Canyon Conundrum... being my favorite!

    His recent Picture Postcard Workflow is a terrific video tutorial from what I hear (have not had the pleasure...)
