Hello Everyone,

I got an IP Refusal for an image of a neighborhood church (not a famous church) that was photographed from the outside, taken from the public sidewalk. Can someone explain this to me, please?

Thank you so much! 😃

There are many reasons for getting an IP refusal. The most obvious: There may be logos in the picture. The building may be modern. There are displays in the image. Without seeing the image, I cannot say more, but I would simply check for logos, even if they are tiny as a first.

The name is on the other side...one image from this shoot was already admitted to my portfolio.

Here ya go...I'm shy about my images. I think I'm pretty good but my parents were mean so I loath critiques. I'm being completely serious.

I'm willing to bet it's the stained glass.  The design is unique enough that it's probably considered an art piece.
