I found this out by accident, as a new image upload of mine made it into Explore and someone commented :. I went to the third party tool that tracks which photos have been in Explore, and I found that over of my photos have been selected for explore. To find your own photos featured in Explore, substitute your screen name or Flickr ID number at that link. Some interesting observations… Some of my better, older work was recently featured. I often re-process my older images, and Flickr enables me to replace the photo one of my favorite Flickr features.
Given the complicated algorithm, changing anything such as adding your photo to a group or adding a tag can kick your photo in or out of Explore. So if you replace a photo and maybe accept a group invitation you missed or put it in a group, it may get more activity, and Flickr may detect recognize the improvements. Or maybe a human does. Either way, continuing to invest in Flickr, even with older images, can deliver new benefits. Since I like and want to keep using Flickr, anything that improves it and encourages new use is a good thing.
Does this signal a new era of relevance and quality for Explore? Time will tell. I hope so. Is there anything we can do to get images included? Yes, that's true. Yes, that's true as of October Explore always counts days in Pacific Time for the purpose of displaying photos on the Explore calendar. There are several ways. You could delete it. Another way is to make the photo private.
Only public photos are featured in Explore. You can also click the "Hide this photo from public searches" link on one of your own photos. When you do that, it tells Flickr that you don't want that photo shown in public areas. No, not really. I am not affiliated with or employed by Flickr. If you're upset that your photos aren't in Explore, the best advice I can give you is this: convince yourself that it doesn't matter.

Answers to the most frequently asked questions about BigHugeLabs. Nobody knows. Explore's squishy and mysterious and possibly rainbow colored innards are a secret that Flickr guards very closely.
You'll have to ask them. That's rare though because Scout scans Explore so frequently. If a photo is dropped, it's because it wasn't in Explore when Scout scanned that day. There are a lot of factors at work. Take this theoretical sequence of events: Scout and Explore are synchronized. Flickr updates Interestingness and the photo drops. At this point, Scout will still show the photo is in Explore when it is not. Scout updates and marks the photo dropped. Now Scout and Interestingness are in sync again.
Interestingness updates and the photo comes back into Explore. At this point, Scout will show that the photo has dropped even though it is currently in Explore. Scout updates and marks the photo added. And now Scout and Explore are back in sync again.
In reply to doggie : Yes, it's extraordinary. I must try harder. In reply to TeeJay : How do you do that, Alan. In reply to doggie : Has that one been selected too, Alan?
In reply to doggie : It's all a mystery to me. I've no idea what criteria they use to select a photo. Anna C. In reply to doggie : As far as I know it is down to a set of algorithms which are changed regularly so people don't cotton on how to get their photos on Explore.

This is not a set of tricks, but an attempt to make observations on why explored photos have in common. Nice thips thank you about them. How many flickr groups is too much to get your photo explored? Me and my girlfriend are receiving married for the conclusion with the calendar year, so this was just the knowledge we essential, thank you extremely much.
I made NO. My heart and soul went into that work. Good luck everyone. Thanks for the advice. HI, does number of contact cont against you? What does that mean, anyway? A quick view on explore basically tells you the answer: HDR crap, sunsets, colorful macros…the lowest common denominator type of crap. Tips work with your photography, and they are good tips for people desperate to get on Explore. But 5 and 6 are just plain horrible.
