All picnic tables/areas automaticly denied

[prinsesse92]

Can it be fixed that all picnic tables are automatically rejected, can you maybe send them out for review by users instead? I think it’s a shame that you have to go and use appeal on all picnic tables and areas, especially when you have a limit on appeals and 99% of the time they go through on appeal,

You may just be framing your photos in a way that the AI does not recognize. All my picnic tables enter public voting with no problem.

I can’t see much difference in the framing.

Cropping it tighter to the table helps, Niktero has good examples too, but sometimes the AI just doesn’t like these and it’s not clear what the issue was. Below are some of mine where I think the ones that got past the AI were the uglier photos and the appealed submissions were better framed.

Cropping it tighter to the table helps,

but not too tight so that the frame of reference is lost. this is a good ratio:

(Also, given this thread might be linked to in the future for photo advice, I’m adding this image which has been shared previously on other platforms. It gives guidance for placement of the POI in the image frame. By having a bit of buffer room around the edges, it prevents key parts of the image getting cropped off, such as text cut off due to the circular Photodisc edges. Following this framing advice is good to ensure that images look good across all current and future Niantic products, regardless of how they end up displayed in game.)

That will make a nice looking stop and is good general advice for getting things past the AI, but sometimes you need to submit a weird, ugly photo just to get things on the board, especially when the subject is not approximately a square or circle. I get a lot of nominations in and have an immediate photo edit waiting for them once they’ve been accepted so that the AI optimized photo can be replaced.
