Aspects of the disclosure relate to placing labels on photographic images so as not to obstruct a particular object. An image associated with a geolocation is identified, where the geolocation is based on a user action. The image is analyzed to identify at least first and second objects within the image. Object types for each object are determined. A determination is made that the first object is to be annotated with a label according to the first object type, and that the first and second object types differ. The image is also analyzed to determine a position on the second object to place the label so that the label does not obstruct the first object. Based on this analysis, the label is placed on the second object without obstructing the first object.
