Just bummed I used up my last upgrade on this one and I don't how to address the rejection criteria. Any feedback is appreciated.
Rejection Criteria:
- Private Residence or Farm - the description and photo spheres should make it clear it is not PRP
- Other Rejection Criteria - vague I know, an earlier version of the Rejection had Sensitive Location instead.
It is located here in case you want to view the available photo spheres: 33.924877, -94.412778

Based on your location rejection reasosns I think reviewers are mistaking the fact that its a private members club for the location being inappropriate, when it isnt.
Id suggest "jazzing" up your nomination to improve your chances.
For the main pic try for a mid distance between your current picture and the support pic. As it is it does look like the front of a house so theres probably knee **** reactions of it being rejected as PRP.
For the description list some of the other aspects of the club i.e. "The club house is the hub of all activity at Little River, being a place to socialise with others before moving onto enjoy one of the many other activities on offer like golf, tennis".
For the support statement remove the Photosphere sentence and give the club website address, its got all the location details there and better pictures than a PS, explain more about how it encourges exercises, is a social area etc etc
Hi!
Is there any sign that have written on it that it's a clubhouse that you can nominate as anchor for it? Wihtout it it will have really hard time to get accepted as either on your photos or photosphere it just looks like ordinary house. Maybe it's a bit bigger than normal house in this area, bust it's still looks just like a house, that's way you will always get PRP rejection if there isn't a plaque or sign that inform that it's a clubhouse.
If it has any website, putting a link to it in support text may be a good idea too (but website must have photos of this building where it mentions it's a clubhouse that are the first thing that reviewers will see when they visit website, if website don't have info about this building, it won't help you if there isn't any plaque on building).
Also I just saw your photosphere's, and they also don't show any proof that it's a clubhouse. One just shows houses (and your nomination is visible on it from different angle that don't show much), and second one is a but misplaced and I think it shows the porch of this house, but the photosphere still does not show anything that would indicate that it is definitely a clubhouse. A couple of rocking chairs and a painted inspirational quote on the wall might as well been in someone's private home, so reviewers still only see the house.
If can make a photosphere of something that cleary show it's a clubhouse (maybe inside there is a sign that shows it's a clubhouse or something like that), it might help.
But without any visible sign or plaque it don't have much chance.
I don't know how it's now, but a few years later you could nominate the water tank on this tower that I can see near this house (if it's really water tank, it's not that good visible on your photosphere, and I'm not from your country, so I'm just guessing), and if people would agree that it's not on PRP too, it would be accepted. Maybe nominating it will be easier to get it accepted rather than clubhouse without a sign, but I can't guarante it. Good luck!
My first thought when seeing the photos is that someone has nominated their private home, at which point, I am unlikely to trust your description and supporting statement. Especially when the photosphere also shows that this is likely a home.
This is where you will need proof that the building is what you claim it to be. This is generally done through a sign.
This place?
https://www.lrc.club/
I think you should be able to enhance your submission with links, extra info about the club as @Theisman-ING said.
Maybe add a collage photo including the clubhouse, tennis courts, 1928 sign etc, not as the main pic obviously, to sway reviewers first impression of this is someone's house?
Thanks for feedback all.
It is that place www.lrc.club. I considered adding that link to the supporting description but then thought I read in the forums that embedded links turned off some reviewers and I hardly ever see links on my reviews so I was torn.
Unfortunately there's no sign or plaque - you'd think when they built it in 1928 there'd be something but nope.
When you say "add a collage photo" you mean a custom stitched together photo as the supporting photo right? Just making sure there's not a feature to paste in more photos in the supporting description I've been missing.
(and apologies to the forum for the dup. post but I blame the UI - it said it was in Draft status so a reasonable user could assume that meant I hadn't submitted it the first time. Maybe a "In Review" status would make sense.)
A link in the supporting info wouldn't bother me if it helped me quickly find info on the submission.
I Wouldn't add a collage every time but if you need help to show what/where your submission is II'd be grateful for the fact I could use the info withiut having to search for it.
Something like this with your own pics?
That kind of collage is not unhelpful. That’s a random set of images that may or may not be connected; one doesn’t lead into the other at all.
The supporting should show the subject in a larger context, so a collage supporting needs to visibly show the clubhouse, or at least the photos need to have some common reference points, to demonstrate that they go together.
I think it would help with the initial reaction of private residence rejection.
I'm not saying use that collage specifically. I just grabbed the images from the site.
I think someone would look at that collage and think that disjointed images will help prove something. They won’t. Anybody can take an image of a tennis court and an image of a second building and put them into a collage, that doesn’t meant they have anything to do with the subject.
That said, make the plaque the primary image, couple it with one good supporting, and you might have something.
