Bilder bei AdobeStock verkaufen "Ablehnung zum Schutz geistigen Eigentums"

Hello everyone, I was in Cologne and took some pictures of the city center, the cathedral and the crane houses, shots that are already available 100x on AdobeStock. Unfortunately my pictures were rejected and I don't understand why... Unfortunately, it only says “Rejection for the protection of intellectual property” but nothing more, even though some of the images already exist 1:1 in exactly the same form. What is that? 😄

The modern architecture is not a small part of a larger landscape but, the main focus point. Here you need the permission of the architect. The train station shows the Logo DB. For that, you need permission of the Deutsche Bahn.

Hey Ralph, thank you very much. But on AdobeStock there are already hundret pictures from the same buildings, it makes no sense that they get the green light und I'm not, that's what i don't get.
