After being alerted that one of my own was on Webshots, I looked into the Copyright Infringement reporting process on Webshots and found it easier to bypass that process and report the image by way of the red text link at the bottom right of the page saying flag this photo as inappropriate (which looks like it goes to copyright@webshots.com email address)
Anyway, this is what I sent them:
I have not given permission for MY photograph to be
here. Here is where the original is, (link) and when images come through
Webshots, I would suggest that if named Copyrighted_Image_Reuse_Prohibited,
that they be bounced, as they were "borrowed" off of //dpchallenge.com
Thank You.
Kind regards,
Brad Petersen

I received this email this morning:
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Webshots Customer Support.
We have deleted the image(s) from the Webshots Community and notified

the member's album or topic pages, and members will not be able to
download it.
