This is an open traffic intersection in my city. The picture shows its night view with all the lights on, and lots of people come here to take photos.

    This question belongs in the Stock Contributor forum below.

    https://community.adobe.com/stock-contributors-36

     

    Nighttime light installations are frequently protected by separate IP & design patents.  As one example, the Eiffel Tower in Paris can be photographed in the daytime, but photographing at night is prohibited. The light installation is privately owned & protected.

     

    See relevant sections on IP below from your Contributor User Guide.

     

    Hope that helps.

    If the image contains text or a logo, such as on a sign, it will be rejected due to IP issues.

    Furthermore, this image will likely be rejected because it contains too much noise.
