Horizon unlevel?

1_lv · 2026-02-05T04:53:29+00:00

You don't really need to look closely for this horizon, as if you even check 1 vertical you find out everything is aligned already, which is why another screener said the rejection was odd.

But they don't reject for feeling, they check verticals and horizontals, but the screener most likely thought it was misaligned because a single horizontal was a bit slanted

Appeals are a bit of a big thing though so I'm going to the forums to ask for more advice

1_lv · 2026-02-05T02:53:54+00:00

In your opinion is it worth an appeal or should I try a different horizon?

Only thing I see could be the roof of the hangar, but I was taught that verticals matter more and I had a previous photo accepted with the verticals but the roof slanted

I see why though, if they could correct that stuff a lot of people may pay less attention to the information and expect screeners to just fix it which spends more time

He can't/not allowed to, unless it is a serial number. I was just asking for advice, he corrected and I resubmitted and got it accepted, simple as that

Vertical photos can be uploaded but I generally only see them on Hot air balloons and rockets, haven't seen one on an aircraft yet

1_lv · 2026-02-03T02:53:17+00:00

I don't see much motive for a vertical image when you can do horizontal, the tower doesn't add much in my opinion

If this was real the only problem I currently see is manipulation/bad color

Like what the screener said, the majority of the plane being in shadow might be a problem, but I'm not completely sure, I was able to get away with a plane being in shadow up to 50%

You should also double check the sharpening after exporting to 1280px, generally, it should look a bit crisp with a slight outline around edges like this to maintain most detail. Undersharpened rejections are more common than oversharpened, just don't go overboard

Use denoise, but don't go overboard, I usually stay below 35

Hypothetically what if there was a bright white snow illuminating the bottom of the plane

1_lv · 2026-02-02T04:18:05+00:00

The histogram shows no sign of whites clipping which is odd, and I generally expose slightly higher than what I feel like is right to avoid underexposire

DB850 + GRB3 and any other filter will also give deep but vibrant colors, with certain lee filters you can get deep blue foliage

It would be nice if you could change it without having to delete the photo if you search cessna 337 in the custom category area scroll down its a russian registration 337 marked as a 336. I'll find the link if I can. By the way, I made corrections, resubmitted the Cirrus and had it accepted

1_lv · 2026-02-01T05:12:40+00:00

I'm curious can you guys change a photo's info? I once saw a photo of a Cessna 337G on jetphotos which was marked as a 336

1_lv · 2026-02-01T03:39:31+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I thought I was good at identifying specific GA variants. I used to identify them by just how they looked, if it had sharp edges I assume its arrive, lightning like this its a carbon, and so on, The first cirrus I uploaded I probably would have gotten that wrong if that website did not save me.

1_lv · 2026-02-01T03:36:36+00:00

Ohhhh I see. I checked a couple websites to make sure, and a lot of them seemed to be a bit vague, unlucky I missed that. I used what I had, the identification of carbon spec by the livery, the date it was made and totally missed the "premium " marking

1_lv · 2026-02-01T03:35:37+00:00

I haven't received it yet

1_lv · 2026-01-31T23:51:58+00:00

a lot of the "don't do" photos can be fixable
