This grabbed peoples attention a couple of days back

I have uploaded two other images in the last few days that are far better than this...go figure

A little off topic, but I figured y'all will indulge me. One of the images mentioned above was uploaded on April 27 and spiked 450 views in a short time period about 12 hours later and then went "dead" (LINK). On a whim, I used the URL hack suggested by the Flickr "in explore" group and found that it had "bonked" meaning that it had apparently had been explored, but manually removed from the explore queue before it could be registered by scout or other services. Common reasons:

• Watermarks or photo borders
• Not a photograph (illustration or screen capture)
• Subjects that appeal to select enthusiasts (trains, cars, antiques, etc.) that are only "interesting" within that domain
• Group subscriptions with apparent intent to drive views/faves

In the case of my photo, the cut-off apparently corresponded to its acceptance at "Group with Experience", a very active (and actively moderated) group, the day after the upload. I suspect my image was nixed due to that last bullet above. Live and learn, eh?

The take-away? Avoid sharing photos to groups for a couple of days after upload

another hit for the A50/1.7

This one went into explore the other day, quite high at 98 but I think it was late in the day so I didnt get a massive spike in views, more of a slow burner. Anyway its one I am happy with so thats always nice.

I've already posted this one as an insect or macro or something, but as I only get one explore a month now, I'm going to celebrate those that I do get

The 1940 DeSoto picture was flicked by the fickle finger of Explore today

another storm shot hit 'explore' last night:

[robgski]

I no longer ask why, I just accept the Explore. BTW, this shot was converted to BW using a green filter, which I think gives the flmaes a bit more depth, what do you think? [IMG][/IMG]
