    In general, one can be denied an Adsense account for numerous reasons. Among those are the age of your domain / website, content (or lack thereof), copyright issues, etc.

    If you're sure that you're being denied (and Google doesn't give you specific reasons as to why you're denied by-the-way) because of "copyright" issues then you might want to check that the pictures that you're plucking off of Google image search are in fact able to be posted on your blog without permission.

    You might want to first read this while keeping every facet of your blog in mind:

    Is there anything here that your site violates?

      Based upon that email, it looks like the pictures could be the problem (assuming, of course, that the articles are original as you claim).

      Remove the images and either go with NO images or go with free stock photos (or paid photos) and then re-submit your site again and see what happens.

      Yikes! Christopherson, don't even think about doing this.

      I remember an article which appeared in the PPA (Professional Photographers of America, Inc.) magazine some years back

      It seems an artist (as in: pen, pencil, oil-paint, watercolor) made a painting by exactly copying from two photographs made by a PPA member. The artist was selling this as original art.

      The photographer owned the copyrights, turned the matter over to the PPA lawyers, who then went after the artist.

      As I recall the damages were in the $100,000 plus range, and the artist filed bankruptcy.

      If you are writing orginal articles for your blog, how would you feel if someone just copied your articles and claimed the articles as their own?

      BTW There are no such words as copywight or copywrighted. They don't exist.
      There are copyright and copywrite - two entirely different concepts.

    You're pulling images from Google? Some of those images may belong to high authority copyright protected websites by law.

    As for adding your own little touch or watermarking those photos, you can only do that to websites that give you sole permission to do so. Information should be available via their Terms of Service or Copyrighted Material section.
