I don't understand why the pictures http://www.panoramio.com/photo/39967083 and this http://www.panoramio.com/photo/39967014 were not select to GE.
What I did wrong? They are panoramic views of Rio and taken from the highest place, offering a new point of viewpoint
Thanks!
The only possible explanation is the reviewer may have thought the photos were taken from a plane, which is not allowed in fact.
Please send an e-mail to review[at]panoramio.com and ask for a new review.

I have seen, like yors, taken in Norway, on the edge of a moutain side, width people standing or sitting like on yours, some of also posing, but accepted, and I have seen more than one pic taken from a plane, and accepted

It only proves reviewers are human beings who made mistakes (wrongly accepted and wrongly rejected photos) even though they have to apply the same criteria.
Mmmm, the same rules since you joined Panoramio.
Draken, I give you the diplomat award of the month for your patience!
Congrats Draken.
After my last review, I think there should be a 'Not selected, WTF?' sticky
Forgive the newbie question.ops:
Photos of people can't go on GE?

Hi starman79
Unfortunately I don't have any other suggestion. The regular procedure is to send the e-mail as a last resource (third review, in fact).

We can all find wrongly rejected and wrongly accepted photos. Thanks
But they are very happy and have fun by reviewing your pictures!
Thank you Gerard for the long and clear explanation.

The chronological/historical facts on Panoramio are the real facts, aren't they? We have been here long enough as to know the history of Panoramio, the whys and wherefores of the Photo Acceptance Policies and the changes and how the website has developed throughout all these years. No theories, speculations or conspiracies. Only facts.
Panoramio needs to build up its customer focus. If people are complaining
about inconsistency in the selection process, maybe they should listen
to the users and acknowledge the problem and try to address it rather
than pretend there is no problem or try to get the moderators to
convince people of the same.
How about rembering the name of it !

This is an interesting thread for clarifying some of the guidelines and various interpretations of them. I don't see a title for this thread and have to get to it by going to a closed thread that I started a couple of days ago.
How do you find this thread in the help forum?
Thank you Panamon-Creel... I had forgotten this thread: http://www.panoramio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12551
But what is the name of it? I don't see it at the top of the post list.

Matthew,
I thought I had actually fallen for it and was awaiting the punch line.!!

Absolutely, Panoramio should hire tons more reviewers so each one can take their sweet time to every photo in detail as well as multiple times by different reviewers to minimize mistakes. In order to cover the added overhead they should apply a charge back to the user for each submitted photo. That should solve the problem, right?
Maybe you are willing to pay for such perfection, I'm not willing to do that and have come to the realization that the review process, even with it's imperfections, is a service and not an enemy to us users that attempts to control the uncontrollable (aka us users).
Panoramio didn't need a Google Earth acceptance policy when it first started - it wasn't directly linked and the only way you could see images in GE was by using the KML file. When Google incorporated Panoramio as a standard layer, an acceptance policy was put in place - this has been refined but doesn't regularly change.

Very interesting. Does this mean that ALL images that were in Panoramio
at the time Google incorporated it were added to the GE layer without
review? This would explain the inconsistencies with older photos.
So I think the whole email procedure is a sham.
The procedure is not a sham. The fact I am a moderator is unrelated.
Regarding my picture I think the background of the picture represents the natural habitat on an excellent way. So I would say, either accept my picture or change the acceptance policy.
More background wouldn't give more information about the habitat Matthew.
The picture tells all you have to know. There is shallow water, there are trees in the water and there is driftwood.
More background does not add anything.

In that case everyone in this forum (except Austin) is wrong.
Quote Frank Noordenbos:Is that so Galatas?

The photo does meet the acceptance policy as it is given known to the menbers for 100%
End of discussion.
Austin wasn't agreeing with you , as I'm sure he will confirm
That leaves you on your own with the rest of the world wrong.
