Can someone tell me what the term "personal" means in the rejection comments from an Anet screener?
It stated: "More contrast needed. soft contrast personal"

It's their strange way of saying they sent you a personal message, e.g. "more contrast needed".

It means they just don't like you very much...

It's like they're saying your work sucks, but don't take it "personally".

Been a while since I uploaded- guess I'm a bit rusty. These are some shots from some time ago, but the a.net ones are recent.

Let me know what you guys think.

As far as the JP, I have to agree with their decisions :(

[deltaA330]

What about a.net?

[wunaladreamin]

Agree with a.net as well. Look at what your histogram tells you and use the histogram to correct the levels BY INDIVIDUAL COLOR CHANNELS. That will fix your exposure and contrast issues. I do wonder is there was snow on the ground when you took some of those from ORD. The under carriages are just way too lit up to be just a lack of contrast, that or you went bonkers with curves. I don't agree with the dirty reject, but I would have nixed it for contrast and noise.

[deltaA330]

Yes those were with snowy ground below

[wunaladreamin]

Then I'd revisit the photos, edit them to correct the histogram and reupload, leaving a note to the screeners in the comment box stating there was snow.

Seems that a lot of my terminal pictures get rejected for "motive".

The fabulously underwhelming Mercedita airport in Puerto Rico. This picture does not do it justice, this shows the good side of this under-funded, under utilized airport.

Sergio, it is front lit... but the tail is dark... my usual gauge is if your tail has no light on it, then the sun is on the other side... :/

Maybe they were just piling on

It is "nose lit" to me. Tweak the exposure, perhaps a little fill light and she might make it in.

I personally would not be proud of that shot, no harm meant. I think one has to be a ruthless personal editor. I would not have tried to even keep that shot for my personal library But I have learned to be a better editor and self critic over the years. I would keep one image for RECORD but that would be it.

Salvaging images should be left for when you capture the first and last ever landing of the Space Shuttle for example

(My opinion, not the rule of course)
