Flickr Explore

I've always been intrigued as to how images end up on Flickr's explore pages. Especially after I got my first shot on there a few months back. It wasn't my best or most interesting shot by a long way.

Well for some reason, I've had 7 more shots added to explore within the last couple of days!

Anyone know how this all works as I'm guessing it's not entirely down to the strength of the shot!

I would bet the Victoria images had something to do with it ;)

They haven't been in explore though!

I wish I knew... my ultimate goal is to make one picture on there eventually. I have a bit of a ways to go.. heh

Here's what Flickr says (http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/): "Where the clickthroughs are coming from; who comments on it and when; who marks it as a favorite; its tags and many more things which are constantly changing."
