So, I attempted to get approved to submit images through Shutterstock and they have denied me for various reasons. The question I have is in regards to an artistic picture of a National Forest Recreation Area sign.
According to the reviewer, the image was not approved because "Intellectual Property -- Image potentially infringes on intellectual property rights." So I went back to the shutterstock website and searched for similar images to see if they have been previously approved...low and behold, I found a similar one right off the bat.. http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-223041541/stock-photo-entrance-sign-to-silver-queen-campground-in-colorado-amidst-colorful-aspens-of-autumn.html?src=sztga7Kg7IZiVk63BKwtoQ-1-45 and another... http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-221463877/stock-photo-maroon-bells-snowmass-wilderness-white-river-national-forest-wooden-sign-near-maroon-bells-aspen.html?src=G1BINjzrS3QOiGkwg3HeAA-1-76 How is it that this image is allowed, but mine isn't? The sign is a very similar type of sign, but for a different park. |
