Uploading to Anet/JP? Pre-Screen Here!

I'm looking on the iPhone right now and that stands out more than anything. I think it's a tad dark and contrasty too. Easy fixes

Thanks again, hate being a nuisance... Is there a way to take away the dead space without losing the 1200 by 800 image size??

I think it's a lovely shot but yes, try a closer crop. I also find it slightly oversharpened. And knowing Anet, possible magenta cast too.

Don't take me for granted though... takes me 3 tries to get to Anet, and only because I appeal the 3rd rejection haha.

You don't have the original?!!

[Jared Blech]

I do... If you are talking about the raw file, i just dont feel like i can edit it like that again... Still a noob
Is it a good idea to crop and size last after you save an edited full size and then u can crop and size as you like?

[wunaladreamin]

I personally crop and correct the horizon leveling first, then alleviate dust spots, then correct exposure, then sharpen and run noise reduction, then I save as a tiff. After that ill resize, save as a jpeg and upload

Im planning on uploading this one to Airliners, does anyone have any input before I do?

Not bad. I would rotate image CCW a few degrees. Level her pitch attitude. Something doesn't feel right about the nose dropped slightly.

Got a feeling that Anet will find it overexposed... Just my own experience. A tad more contrast needed as well.

I made some adjustments, how does this look? [IMG][/IMG]

Don't know if it's Photobucket doing some compression, but there's a lot of JPG artifacting. Especially noticeable near the windows.

I think it might be photobucket because I didn't compress it yet, is there anything else you see wrong with it before I upload it?

I would leave a couple more pixels of sky behind the horizontal stabilizer (unless that's where it needed to be cropped). After that, you can upload it, and send a link to the picture on the A.net server. I could take a closer look there.

If I were to add more space behind the tail I would have to do some cloning (do they allow cloning?) Here is the final image http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/b...airlines33.jpg

Cloning is a big no-no. You can get banned. I would say it's close, but the sky may be too grainy or have some quality issues. Also, I've been rejected for not having enough whitespace around the aircraft (on a photo with more space than this one), and the horizontal stabilizer is almost touching the edge here.
