I'd bet both rejected photos were rejected for quality. I have learned from experience that bright aircraft conditions can greatly increase photo quality. Also, if you took photos with digital zoom, I can tell you that it destroys images.
Some cameras have "SCN" modes (or whatever it is). These are special modes. I found that taking a night photo with the "night" mode on SCN was resulted in greater quality than "auto" mode.

I'd guess that one of the reasons they were rejected is that part of the tailplane and nose were clipped in both of them. As I understand, it's not a requirement that the entire aircraft be in the frame, but it has to be for emphasis or composition. To leave out the tip of the nose or tail is viewed as poor composition.
It also appears that you're starting with a distant shot and cropping quite severely to fill the frame. The problem with that is that your quality suffers tremendously.
As for settings, I'm not familiar with your camera, although I know my friend recently got one. He's pretty pleased with it, and he used to shoot film SLRs. If it has a aperture or shutter priority or manual mode, use any of those.
Ideal settings for capturing sharp photos of aircraft in flight: f-stop, f/8 or higher; shutter speed, 1/500 sec. or faster; iso, 200 or lower. The problem is that you won't be able to achieve the ideal except in the brightest of light conditions, so you have to learn how trading shutter speed for a higher f-stop (and greater depth of field) or vice versa and adjusting the iso affect your photos.
As for the myaviation pics:
The Jet2 757 is pretty run of the mill, but the major problem is that it has the wrong ratio of hieght to width. 2:3 is the ideal.
The Fokker would be a better composition if you cropped it to the edge of the flaps.
The Thompson Fly is a magnificent picture, but it appears to have been cropped from a much larger frame. It needs to be leveled and centered, but the quality means that it's one for your personal collection.

Thank you very much!
I'll have to try to do more pictures and have to work with PS CS3.
I was founded some tutorials about prepare picture to load to A-net. Maybe you have some more links for my study?

Hello. Your pictures are likely to get rejected for quality. Here's the thing about P&S cameras...you can really only take pictures of stationary or taxiing planes which are right in front of you on a sunny day. Otherwise it is hard to get a picture out of them. Aim for those kinds of shots.

I think something is wrong with your camera settings. Now, I'm not much good for quality, but using lower ISO levels can reduce digital noise, so somewhat increasing the quality. Sovietjet is right, you should take photos in bright sunlight, and try taking them while they are moving slowly. I found out with my camera that if you try to catch a landing airplane, the movement causes poor quality. And make sure your camera has the best quality settings it has to offer.

Quoting Tinlit (Reply 10): What do you think - another "condidats" to rejected?
Unfortunately, yes. All 3 photos are quite soft and grainy and although they are nice shots they won't make the grade on anet.
You need to understand the camera back to front and know what it's good at and what it's limitations are and work around it to get the best that you can out of it and first and foremost take pics for yourself and not this website.
