Some of my photos aren’t shown in public view. It seems like my photos of businesses’ buildings are most subject to being hidden/removed. In particular, restaurants at night with their neon signs on. These are shots I’m getting on a tripod and taking time with contrast and toning. Is there any problem with submitting photos that have a bit of a commercial look to them?

I also have the same problem.
But some photos return to normal after a few days and some photos seem to be remove forever
Not sure what happened

Thank you for replying! Here’s one of my latest. It was displaying just fine yesterday. I feel like it should be a shoe-in. Nice photo, and the only one posted as of right now.

Hi @b2xphoto
It sounds strange to me. As far as I know photos are not removed. Photos that not fit the rules are flagged as private, so are visible only to you and not to the public. To see if some photo is flagged, you should check your profile in anonymous mode.

@ErmesT can you think of anything about my example photo that might violate photo policy?

Honestly no, @b2xphoto
Is a photo of a GMB place?

@ErmesT They may have claimed the business, I’m not sure. I added the POI myself 2 days ago.
