And list is more, more. For this picture, sun is in other side.

All is BL. f-5e not sharp :O

On which side do you think the sun in the picture below is?

I think that most aren´t so backlit, but there are somes that yes, also the F-5 is blurry, as Bartek said. And finally, the American Airlines B737-800 isn´t leveled, the horizon is fallen.

Krystian Truszkowski is a frontal sun, a bit in the left. Like in my case

Some cases might be borderline or the composition is somewhat unique.

I have to agree though that that pic of the F-5 si really questionable on how it got accepted.

But LRCV, your picture is clearly backlit. The other cases honestly look borderline to me.

It's not one of my best edits but a little bit of Lightroom could get the plane a bit more bright

Attached photos:

Is not relevant program Dennis. The artificial light is not important in this case.

Look another example. Im waiting the crew answer for that.

I do not think you will achieve anything (else than working yourself up and probably some others) posting pictures that have been accepted while yours have not.

Sometimes, backlit (or frontlit) pictures could be accepted, depending, I suppose (I am not a screener), on the picture itself (quality, rarity etc …) but there is no rule and you have to avoid, them as far as possible.

I understand you can be sad, angry, disgusted but if you feel your picture has been unjustly rejected, try to appeal or simply send an email to the Team, that would be more fair than comparing/criticizing the work of other photographers.

Have a nice Week-end.

WHAT THE HELL AP AUDIENCE...I will speak in the name of many members and us full members as well as the screeners that are not as polite as I am.

Cata Catalin 81 (or LCRV)...have you considered (before taking English classes, of course) to start your own spotting web page to avoid bothering us all with your frustrations??? Calm the f...k down dude and stop pointing on others pics and stop being boring pain in the a.. to the whole AP community. Do you even realize that you are a clown with bad English that no one takes serious besides few newcomers who are uner18?? Work on your photography and editing skills and bring more than boring documentary stuff from your Craiova. How dare you to comment on Roman's photo (and others) when you're like years away to reach this point. It will take you like 10 years to reach his status and skills or probably never because you never showed us any progress but documentary stuff with no creativity whatsoever. Shame on you!

If I was Martin I'd ban you for life!

Dude, get your s..t together and concentrate on your own works! If you seek" justice" invest $100 and start your own web page or post your Wizz Air fleet on flckr! And good luck with it!

In the meantime STOP for heavens sake with this boring posts who did what and what it looks like. Or simply get the f...off to another spotting page to seek the "justice". Live with it!

If it's hard to understand for you what I just wrote I suggest you to get English classes at Berlitz school (I hope there is one in Craiova) because we all realize that even google translate struggles with your thoughts.

You simply can not point on the screeners "mistakes" (and get finally aware that FM's don't have any screening!!!) as much as I can put you down to make you look and sound like a complaining fool.

This post of mine will probably be erased by Michael but I hope it'll stand long enough for other members to see how a guys like you with no manners and respect for others should be treated.

Enjoy your leather outfit as shown on your FB profile picture and have fun at "Blue oyster"!

Dude, go away.. Your oppinion is not relevant for me. :)
