Great photo!

Another tip: When you use scout to look for Explored photos, always choose "include dropped", because photos drop in and out of explore, and the profile widget is several hours behind scout.

What is flickr explore?

It is a page on Flickr, updated every few seconds, that highlights photos of note that stand out from the rest. The logarithm which selects the photos is often discussed on the Net, but nobody seems to work out what it is it actually does. "Explore" is a test of popularity to some extent, but as many posters have found, sending a photo to too many groups can actually prevent it from being selected by "Explore". Some photobloggers have worked out esoteric systems in relation to the best time of day to post in order to enhance chances of being selected.

This was discusses some time back:

Also, Flickr had an April Fool's joke this year. Posters woke to found that ALL their photos had been Explored...
