Haven't lost anything, they are sharp, the color is fine, but there are some things that kill it, and this is just my two cents:

For the Stearman shot, the crop killed the letters number in the red band.The centroid of the shot is ...? Clutter behind the prime object, N213HP.
And let's get one thing straight. There's a big difference between a pilot and an aviator. One is a technician; the other is an artist in love with flight. — E. B. Jeppesen

Acceptance for the homepage? Acceptance for A.net? Not sure exactly what you're asking.

Fair enough. :))

Anyway, my input:

On the first shot, the crop doesn't do it for me, with both the top and bottom wings cut off vertically. It also feels slightly unlevel to me. Plus the top wing's shadow doesn't help. It kinda feels like it's in-between a tight or loose crop.

The 2nd shot is better, but the H-stab cutting across the bottom left and blocking the Air Force emblem (whatever it's called, not sure) puts a damper on it for me. I think it might be better if the tail was included.

On the third, again it feels slightly unlevel - aside from that, the only nitpicky thing is the landing gear door being cut off on the right. The light's not helping, though, with the front bright and the rest of the airplane pretty dark and slightly noisy. I might have added that one to the HPQ, though.

Technically, all 3 shots seem fine.
