Question

Why were my photos rejected for containing IP-protected material?

 This is my first time submitting photos to Adobe stock, and I submitted photos of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but they were rejected for containing IP-protected material: 1128, 1135, 1173. However, I see photos of the very same monument on Adobe Stock and other stock photo websites. How are my photos different? Some pointers would be much appreciated.

 

Additionally, the following photo was rejected for quality issues. I'm not sure what's wrong with it: 1165

I think the problem on the Arch is that the structure or the artwork is the main focus of your photos. That is often considered a "no-go". The property is not yours. If you include it, it should not be the main part of your asset.

The logos on the trucks would be the reason for the first one.

Ok, this is understandable, but I'm still not sure about the other ones
