Google Safesearch Image Filtering Problem

Hey Gang,

Online Ads is still here... we are getting a steady stream of new subscribers,
and I receive a ton of questions sent to me privately, but no
one is submitting anything to the list for group discussion. I
encourage you to send questions to online-ads3_at_o-a.com so we can
keep this group going.

In the meantime, I have a question of my own. I'm involved with a web site
that hosts tennis content (http://www.tennisserver.com). We have
a huge high-quality tennis photography library, and when one does
image searches on Google, we often have the very top search
results, provided that Sitesearch filtering is turned off.
However, if Sitesearch filtering is at the (default) moderate
filtering setting, none of the graphics from our site appear.
Our site is strictly G rated, so there is no reason for filtering
our images.

Any thoughts on how we might get Google to fix the problem?

Example:

Search for Marion Bartoli images with Site Search off... we have the top
results:
http://images.google.com/images?as_q=marion+bartoli&hl=en&output=images&svnum=10&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&imgtype=&imgsz=&as_filetype=&imgc=&as_sitesearch=&safe=off&as_st=y

Search for Marion Bartoli images with Site Search at moderate filtering...
we don't show up:
http://images.google.com/images?as_q=marion+bartoli&hl=en&output=images&svnum=10&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&imgtype=&imgsz=&as_filetype=&imgc=&as_sitesearch=&safe=images&as_st=y
