This was rejected then rejected again on appeal. "Very backlit" apparently.
It is JP's loss in my opinion and I do not think that it would get no views if it was accepted. In fact I dare say that it would make it to the front page of the website proving its popularity.
So I ask the question, what guidelines do screeners have for accepting photos which are not 100% perfect in terms of lighting etc, but have an interesting subject? User views are obviously not in the forefront of whoever rejected my photo. What is the ultimate goal of JP, to have a database full of photos 'perfect' from a rules perspective or to have interesting photos which people might actually enjoy seeing?
Given a backlit but otherwise ok shot of something interesting or a perfectly lit and composed photo of say a United 737, I certainly know what I would want to look at and it aint the 737.
