Hello,

Just curious as to why one of my images was rejected on IP reasons and another image, not; both with the same subject matter? The same similar subject matter as other accepted contributors' images.

both images, Titles and Keywords supplied.

Cheers!

It's not unheard of that moderators on occasion inadvertently select the wrong reason for rejection. That's one possibility.

The car logo and license plate are the reason for the IP rejection. If you delete those, the images will probably be accepted.

Hello Jill,

Well then on that explanation, you might need to go through your non-AI Car/Vehicle/Taffic images and videos again, as there are some I randomly just came across with quite recognisable Brand names and vehicle Number plates.

Anyway, I’ll make the necessary fixes to my image and try again.

Thanks for your time.

Cheers!

Tony

Upon close inspection, you'll probably find that most or all of those are Illustrative Editorial images.

The rejection reason is not similar, but IP related. Traffic signs are not copyright protected, but car logos and licence plates are. Logos, because they are under the control of the rights' holder and licence plates as those are individually recognizable codes.

Finding other pictures in the database does not invalidate the refusal.
