Sometimes markings show up better when they are wet. Depends on the type of material.
See if that helps
Ok
Agreed. Engraving must be prominent. Should.be fine for human reviewers.
The only thing I could suggest is play with the lighting on the photo, on my phone I normally tap on the area with the writing/text and increase or decrease lighting until it becomes clearer.
As @elijustrying suggested above, see if taking a photo of it when wet will also help improve it, maybe a combination of both might help.
Sometimes Google lens will also pick up the writing and highlight it, you could screenshot that and use it in supporting only.
The problem is the main photo being rejected by the ML system. No amount of special features in the supporting photos will overcome this, however much this would help with human reviewers.
@Liverlouike15 Try different photos. Try one from a bit further away to show context, try one when itâs wet (you shouldnât have to wait too long), try one that is focussed tightly just on the engraving!
I know what you mean but I said to only use a screenshot of Google lens in supporting or else it will get flagged for 3rd party.
Lighting can be used on the main and has worked before
I am minded to appeal again first. I could burn through a lot of resubmissions trying to tweak various elements, without ever getting close to whatever is upsetting ML. I believe the information in the second rejection is presented with sufficient clarity to demonstrate that this is not a âregularâ boundary stone. It shouldnât be rejected just because the age of the structure means that its distinguishing features have weathered over time and are harder, but not impossible, to discern.
Hi! Pretty local person who has also submitted boundary markers here seconding the suggestion to try other main photos to hopefully correctly get past the ML. I recently got an entirely illegible (but I think still eligible!!) boundary stone inset into a wall past eMiLy by taking the image from further away to give more context. (I will not send any images here for a nomination yet to reach a decision)
Good luck, it seems like youâve done quite a bit of research 
Side note: I find the suggestion that someone added the RAL later very entertaining. I suppose Cosenerâs House is in Abingdon but this definitely isnât Didcot!
