Promoting a photo is a completely subjective process, one which is based on individual judgement. In any case, please keep in mind a few helpuful tips when making your choices:
1.  Does the photo stimulate or confront you? Does it do anything for you?
2.  Is the photo novel? Does it make you curious or grab your attention?
3.  Does the photo invoke a personal response?
4.  Do you find the photo thought provoking?
5.  What are the overall qualities like? Composition, focus, color, tones, etc. Back to top

The Fotoblur community is known for its spectacular photo quality. We found early on that when we limited the number of photos our members submitted, they tended to submit only their best work. This limitation is meant to stimulate creativity by making each photographer more selective about what they upload to the gallery.
