Two more of my shots didn't make the A.net cut

[spectre]

I am now one for six at A.net...horrible! Can you please critique these shots?

Thanks,

We have had to reject the following photos:
- AV8B09.jpg (USA - Marines McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II)
http://www.airliners.net/procphotos/rejphoto.main?filename=20071107_AV8B09.jpg

The size of these photo(s) is too small or they have a very unusual
width/height ratio.
Uploaded images should be at least 1000 pixels wide and at least 667
pixels high for landscape format photos, or 1000 pixels high (the longer
side) for portrait format photos. The width/height ratio should be in the
region of 3:2 or 4:3. To read more about the required size of the images,
please go to

These photo(s) do not appear to be level, i.e. the angle of the camera
does not seem to be straight compared to the horizon.
In most cases, this problem is easy to correct. If you want to read more
about this problem, and about possible ways to correct it and hopefully
attempt a re-upload, please go to

These photo(s) show a motive that is not accepted by Airliners.net (http://airliners.net/). This
problem may be due to a very wide range of reasons, from photos that
include unwanted window reflections to photos showing other subjects than
aircraft. Also, certain kinds of so-called "creative" photos may be more
prone to this problem.
Depending on the reason, it may or may not be possible to change the
motive. If you want to read more about this issue, and about acceptable
and unacceptable motives, please go to

The main subject of these photo(s) is not correctly centered in the image.
In some cases this problem can be corrected. If you want to read more

They look ok to me from what I can see. They are huge.

[spectre]

I will resize them tonight...Those are just the ones they sent me back...

[casp3r]

Absolutely nothing wrong with them. Great shots.

[BoySpot]

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Airliners.net have some very strict requirements about what they like. The things like leveling the image and the legendary motive rejections are pretty common stuff. If you send stuff to them and it goes up, that is nice. If not, don't assume that their rejection is necessarily a bad reflection on the shot. They just like things certain ways. It's their site so I don't mind any more. It used to bug me though. Most of the points are reasonable, though.

I love the detail.

Only a couple things I can think of, to make them a bit more interesting. Nit-picks for sure, as I'd be proud to take these shots.

More of the craft in the photo. Especially the 2nd shot, since you can't see the rear nozel.

The pilot was looking your way.

A bit too heavy on the sharpening?

Again, great shots.

I am not on my good monitor so I won't critique the photos, but THIS (http://planecatcher.com/IGRR.htm) guide has really helped me, I am close to 50 accepted :)

Sorry, but IMAGE POSTING RULES (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=74718) only allow pics 800 pixels or smaller. You can always just post a link to them, though.

As I've said before, Anet is a joke. They would not know a good photo if it hit them square in the forehead. I would not lose an once of sleep over rejections from this place.

And, no I have not tried to get my stuff on Anet. Never have, never will.

Take a look at the accepted 'copter shot. It has a freakin tower growing out of it!!! Clueless!!

[asylumxl]

They seem a bit up their own behinds. Personally i like them. Do you like them? If you do, who cares what they think...

They seem a bit up their own behinds. Personally i like them. Do you like them? If you do, who cares what they think...I agree fully, I like them...I like them a lot. but, I am still learning and I would like to do this type of thing on the side...
You have to learn to please yourself...but I also want to learn what others like and want.

Thanks,
Todd

[asylumxl]

I also want to learn what others like and want.

Meh, if that's what you want. I feel that could mean your photos end up looking the same as the next guys but I guess you gotta' learn the rules before you break them.

HAHAHA, that copter shot is acceptable?:rolleyes:

I have looked at their photos before but after further review of their requirements I was amazed at the crap that was accepted, off colors, bad contrast, over sharpened, etc.
And here I was thinking that that had consistent standards.

I am not really upset that my shots were not accepted. I am more flabbergasted because of the crap that does make it on. They have some very bad shots on there but also some truly amazing shots as well...

I think I will try my hand at Jetphotos.net next


Any way I look at it, I will be proud to hang these on my wall...so screw'em ;)
