It liked to understand the reason why this photo was removed after having good punctuation, I do not obtain to find justification therefore the photograph has good quality! Already I had other removals without any justification. Thank you.

Hello Jose,
Did you put the owl photo in Rio de Janeiro? If so, I think I might know the reason. I suspect someone flagged your photo for being irrelevant to Rio de Janeiro. It was thus removed. I had the same problem myself. Many of my photos were removed in a similar fashion. Maybe you might want to put that photo in an owl article instead.
Dear José,
Your photo has been removed because it is under the minimum size required : 1400 x 1080. Your photo could fit well in the bird article, so if you have one with a higher resolution, please try again. It could also been added to the Owl article.
Hi everybody,
Today, I've had this photo http://www.fotopedia.com/items/nme94-kwt307MPtiA removed from Fotopedia's article vending machine without any explication.
I want only understand the reasons for this removing. Anyone can answer me?
I am conscious that it is not a very very great photo, but despite of the low light, focus is there as well as the essential of the subject of the article.
BTW, if this photo had a negative score, I'm sure that this negative score this less than one week, I have uploaded this photo last Saturday.

Hi Nilson,
You should have received an email about this flag, but it looks like email notifications are deactivated on your account. Please reactivate it to receive email notification when one of your image is removed from an article.
Regarding your photo, it has been flagged for underexposure, as there are clearly not enough light on your image to see the entire vending machine.
If you have a RAW file, maybe you can adjust that. Or shoot another vending machine in a train station or somewhere else, it won't difficult to spot them ;)
All the best,
Damien
Hi Damien,
Thanks for your answer and alert me that email notifications are disabled in my profile. I'll reactivate it immediately.
I'll do another again, the conditions of light were very poor for this one and I didn't want to use the built-in flash, the results are never so good with it.
Since two years ago, I always take my photos in RAW format, but I'm afraid that for this one I will do my best when I developed in jpg without explode the noise.
My idea doing this photo was not to show the entire machine, but concentrated the sight on the essential: the products and the brands that is part of the machine, like a chiaroscuro painting.
I am 100% agree that Fotopedia should preserve the quality of the photo posted, but there are some matters that are on limit of the subjectivity, and moderators can give to the members the opportunity to express themselves, and not to flag a photo two days only after it has been posted.
Next time I do the entire machine, a classical photo makes on tripod, using an umbrella flash kit...

@Nilson: a front shot could have been better if the idea was to capture the content of the vending machine. On your photo, the machine sign and lights are cut, and the framing is not perfect.
my two cents.
I think the idea could work well, but with a much closer shot.
Also, bear in mind, the halving effect of light. If you halve the distance between you and teh subject, the light energy is double. That can be very significant in low light. Taking a few steps forward can help greatly.
Hi Dan, hi Damien
You are right. I can confess you that my shot was not a very workable task from where I was.
I was set on a bench waiting my train inside of the glacial Aix's train station, and looking for some photo subjects to spend the time... Next time, I'll do more of myself, be closer of the subject and making a better framing. Thanks for your advices guys.
