With all due respect it looks way too over the top,

I have to agree with Darryl, I'm not quite sure what such unrealistic and aggressive
processing adds to the image. Admittedly it's all personal opinion, but I think
everything you do in editing should be done for a reason and it's that reason I'm not
quite seeing here.

I actually quite like it, it's certainly different, each to their own I suppose.

This is a 'point n shoot' image from a backup camera that I carry along with my SLR. The
image was back-lit, but I felt that it had a bit of potential. So I went for it. Also, the
image is not photoshopped. In fact, I don't have photoshop. I used a simple photo editing
software called photoscape for colour filtering it and I tone mapped the image just a tad
bit. Now with that being said, I also want to say that I'm not really a big fan of this
kinda processing, but I go for it every now and then. It would be silly to fill up my
portfolio with over-processed D-SLR images, but I play around with my point n shoot images
and that's that.

The kind of camera it came from isn't really relevant, there are plenty of photographers
getting stunning results from very low end cameras because what they do is artistic and
meaningful. Again, it's the meaning of why you chose to edit like this I'm missing. It
just doesn't seem to add anything to the image. Naturally, as previously said it's all
personal opinion but I'm still a big fan of the motives for such a high level of
processing being obvious, and they're really not obvious here. If an image is inherently
low in quality when you take it then nothing you do in post-processing will change that;
in fact if anything such massive processing detracts from what was there in the first
place.
Again, to emphasise, it's all personal opinion but if you're trying to
approach this from an artistic point of view then there should really be a reason for what
you've done beyond simply trying to cover up a poor quality original image.

I would like to correct you there; a low quality image, with the right amount of
processing, CAN be turned around. Also, when it comes to aviation photograph, the camera
up to some extent, matters. Now what that means is if something that would normally go
into the database unnoticed, HAS created some amount of aesthetic appeal, then the work
that went into it was absolutely worth it - not to mention where the image came from. Now,
there IS a line drawn. Pushing it to a point where it would look like nothing more than a
drawing is a failure, but if one can create something with the awareness of the amount of
processing that goes into it, then that IS quite significant.. but then, that's just
me.
Back-lit subject - right amount of processing - you get something. (Not for
every image. Worked for this one).. not just a cover-up at all.

So who accepted this pic?

I'm sorry but you're simply wrong (and this isn't personal opinion, it's a
straightforward fact). You haven't increased quality here, you've merely hidden flaws
that shouldn't have been there in the first place. Quality is either there in an image
or it isn't, it has to be there when you press the shutter release and it can't be
'added' afterwards in processing. Any experienced professional photographer will tell
you exactly the same. Process your images this way by all means; it's your right to do
so, but you'd benefit from a greater understanding a few fundamental principles in
photography, namely what quality actually is. Aesthetics and quality aren't the same.
Technical quality isn't based on opinion, aesthetics are, and incidentally this
processing hasn't given this image any aesthetic appeal at all to me. In fact it's
completely ruined it because it's ostensibly been done without reason other than to hide
flaws, which should NEVER be the motivation for applying a certain kind of processing to
an image (if you didn't nail it, bin the photo and take it again). Please don't take
any of this personally; it isn't intended as such, but when you post images on the net
you do open yourself up to wider opinions. :)

Personally I do not like seeing poorly made tone mapped images. However there is no one
right way to make a photo and though it may offend the purists like myself, we do have to
accept that a photographer sees the image the way they want to and not how the general
population expects a photo to look like.
Certainly this image has generated more
correspondence the the thousands of conventional images on the database.
