Doubts about photo rejections

I have submitted a couple of photos from some portals that had been restored and remodeled but the system has rejected them and I'm not sure if I can put a request on the forum to add those photos.
Example:
Existing Photo:
Rejected Photo:

This seems like something that should go in Wayspot Photo Appeals: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/categories/wayspot-photo
Is there safe pedestrian access to it? Looks like it's in the middle of the road.
Since the description of that section only states 'Requests to remove invalid photos from Wayspots' I prefer to ask first😅
Yes, it is safe, The poi is right next to a crosswalk and the media **** is very wide so people can be in front of it without troubles.
maybe try showing that in the support photo.
There are two vehicles in the near background of the rejected photo and it might well be that in an enlarged image the licence plates are readable which would make it ineligible. Try again without any motor vehicles or people.
Did you actually upload the new photo with a filter, background blur and that thick black border?
If you've seen what borders on photos looks like when rendered unto Pokestops/Portals, they actually look terrible. The photo is best when it is a natural photo, with no effects and no border.
