genuine2009: your mail is verry ambiguous and refers only to a phrase like is taken out of context: Your entry - Solo's Escape- was removed by one of the moderators on Pxleyes with the following reason: The contest theme is very specific and stipulates \"Recreating the cloud city in the Star Wars movie is not allowed\". This makes your entry off-theme. If you wish to reply to the moderators about this, simply go to your entry: Solos Escape and use the *red flag/contact mod* field to post your reply. Please do not use the moderator e-mail to discuss this case. For any questions regarding the contest guidelines please visit: http://www.Pxleyes.com/guidelines/ Thank you.

genuine2009: me too jaw....))))).....you're the most "original" ... something like CMYK....))) ( 5 years and 3431 days ago )
Contest Moderator: The Theme author sets the guidelines for their contest suggestion. In this case the author was quite specific and even commented on your entry saying it was exactly what not to do. There is nothing ambiguous in the notice you received. Guidelines say This is not allowed and you created just that which is not allowed. The contest author confirms his definition and moderators must see that the theme is followed correctly. Sometimes whether an entry is on or off theme isn't always as obvious.

genuine2009: moderator! in my opinion your opinion and how did you resolve this situation is rong...i have this right?...right? I assure you that i have many supporters ... who disagree with many facts or decision from here...and no comment, to me you are a big disgrace POINT! ( 5 years and 3430 days ago )
genuine2009: and btw ... not good to be more Catholic than the Pope.... ( 5 years and 3430 days ago )
genuine2009: and not good when a man decides as he's like ... maybe his decisiona is wrong ... but what can you do? ( 5 years and 3430 days ago )
dosboss57: Whoa...can you say pee pee and cereal in the same sentence? ( 5 years and 3430 days ago )

This entry I made for the water reflection contest, but somehow this contest is more suitable to this image so I decide to submit it here.
