I see this a bit. My best reasoning is that it was accepted a while back when standards for photos accepted on RP were lower.
I checked the history on that particular photo, and it was accepted by RP on May 25, 2007. Therefore, I have to stand by my claim that not all of the screeners are on the same page when it comes to deciding what gets accepted and what gets rejected.
I have experienced this issue personally. A few months ago, I submitted a photo of a very interesting, very rare, very endangered locomotive... and the photo was rejected because there was a very small item obscuring part of the front truck of the locomotive (a.k.a. "objects in foreground"). A few days later, while browsing RP, I saw a new photo of a typical, everyday, nothing-special locomotive. It, too, had an object in the foreground that partially obscured part of the locomotive... and yet it was accepted.
