Unfortunately, due to the fact that your profile is locked we can’t check your contributions, so I can give you only a “generic” answer.
The most common reason for a photo is made private is a violation of the Community policy :
- “Take photos that clearly and accurately represent a location …**”
- “Dark, blurry, and redundant photos will be removed. Users who duplicate photos across locations, … will also be removed.”
This means that photos are normally removed when the photo do not represent the location, or are duplicate, or redundant (a lot of similar photos) or the same photo is uploaded in more than one place.
Another of the common reason is the copyright violation (photos taken from the web)
Normally if the number of photos that are not following the rules is high, all the photos are hidden.
You can fill out the Appeal form, asking Google to check your account.
However normally the form is useful only if you have been suspended, but you can try
