I have been waiting to see this photo appear on jetphotos
For airliners.net; when looking at the photo in photoshop and looking at the histogram in lumonosity mode, the sides of the graph do not quite reach the edges hence could use a tad of contrast (or more preferably, just correct using levels, bringing the edges of the graph to the sides). It should be remembered that if using the histogram, it should be in lumonisty mode, not RGB.
For jetphotos.net, it can easily be brightened up using curves or brightening the midtones in levels. Keep in mind after doing so might bring the edes of the histogram away from the sides so they may need to be recorrected.
It's a great photo so don't give up with it! it must have been borderline rejected on both sites.
I got a tonne of dark/underexposed rejections from jetphotos.net after editing all of my photos on Noora's laptop which has a screen thats brighter compared to my own laptop screen hence, after uploading my shots, they were all dark or underexposed.
