Okay, some of this may be good advice, but not all of it. As for the supposed formula for getting onto Explore…….uh..all I can say is that is a joke. I have read posts from people who state that they have had many, many comments, favs, and views yet never get onto explore. I have also noticed that there are some people who make it onto explore multiple times a week. How is that possible???? I have also read posts by people who say that they have had a photo in explore that didn’t have many views, comments, or favs. So, the “formula” is a load of crap. And I have seen many photos on explore that are just plain stupid and boring ( a photo of a poster of Britney Spears???? Interesting????? what a joke.)
I know people who just upload there photos for the fun of it and aren’t obsessed with wasting their time doing everything they can to get noticed on flickr.
Funny thing is, I respect my photography teachers opinion of my photos a lot more than I respect the fake comments that I use to get on flickr.
I usually added someone when they made me their contact, but yet they never made a comment on any of my photos even when I made it a point to go through their photostream. To me, most of the people who are obsessed with getting attention on flickr don’t really love photography. They just want attention.

I can’t speak for every Flickr member, but for me, when it comes to people who post pics of scantily-clad women, the negativity is not because it’s not artistic or because it’s unprofessional or anything like that. I don’t see any reason why a nude or semi-nude is unable to have artistic or professional merit. Rather, it’s because it’s a very easy way to get attention (racking up high numbers of views and comments and favorites) that I don’t have at my disposal, as a man. I mean, I could post topless pics of myself, but I don’t think that would have quite the same effect I read another opinion several months ago that said it basically boils down to sex appeal, and I think that’s true. But I suppose people could counter by saying that I, as a man, have different advantages when it comes to photography (haha, if there are any, I’d like to hear them, actually!)
