Hi - I've had a picture of a grasshopper disqualified in Insect Camouflage challenge - have asked moderator why but have had no reply.

This conversation is no longer open for comments or replies and is no longer visible to community members. The community moderator provided the following reason for archiving: Not a problem

I have entered into insect camouflage a picture of a grasshopper stalking a butterfly and this has been disqualified - I have asked the moderator why but not had a response.
Would like my picture back in the challenge and an explanation as to why it was disqualified.

Iain, this is a problem a lot of us have had. Unfortunately, the moderators of the Community Challenges can run their challenges however they see fit and Pixoto doesn't interfere.

Take heart, I once received an email that I had a photo disqualified from a challenge, and then a few days later I received an email saying that same photo had won an award in that same challenge! I know, weird...........

Best advice I have is to never enter a challenge created by that person again :-)

its only a community challenge, not a pixoto one, so as Lenore says the moderators tend to do what they like....including picking their own shots as winners.Again I agree with Lenore, don't enter one of their challenges again.
