How the hell

[Dave Moss]

Does Flickr work out Explore when they put a dreadful picture like this on explore(supposedly the best 500 pictures of the day) its dreadful not in proper focus I could pick more problems with it and meant to just delete it

Can someone please tell me how the first is better than the second

 

[Rob MacKillop]

The first has a train in it. The second has a barge. More people like trains than barges?

Love the second, by the way. And I quite like the first!

At least your verticals a straight!!

Only cause I straightened it !!!

Thanks Rob

I must admit I see some truly remarkable images on Explore and also some terrible ones but your train pic actually isn't as bad as you think it is!

 

[Dave Moss]

Thanks Paul I'm likely more critical of it because I know what I wanted the picture to be but really I should be happier others like it. I can always go back and reshoot it any weekend

 

[Hamish Gill]

I actually like that train pic quite a lot ... Compositionally it's very pleasing to look at!

 

[Beth Carter]

congrats on making the magic donkey happy... flickr explore has some crazy ideas as to what is explore-worthy. i like the train picture, but the boats are more interesting to me.

It's the tags you used Dave - hot, steaming, thrusting, pounding, grease nipple

Get's a lot of attention

Congrats on the Explore
