The difference is you are selling an image of a product and NOT an exact
duplicate of a product. LEGO may have certain trademarks over the specific
design of their bricks, their name, their branding, etc., but they can't stop
anyone from taking a picture (or ldraw rendering or crayon scribble) of
something built from their products. It would still be advisable in commercial
circumstances to include a disclaimer to keep their legal sharks off your back.
