We are continuing to refine the Art Council process. I have recorded most of the changes on this page. Basically, we are adding further incentive for the Art Council members to be more critical and careful when nominating and (in particular) when voting on images to go in the main galleries. Currently there are about 135 voting Art Council members after we kicked out everyone who wasn't taking the process seriously.
In my personal and humble opinion ... diversity ... is a factor that is not currently being given enough consideration.
I don't feel/think that having several images of essentially the same setting with a slight shift in camera angle or something akin to that ... is of benefit to the site.
One image would suffice.
Then, if so inclined the visitor/member could go the artist's galleries and investigate more.
It has been mentioned in prior discussions that some don't see any difference in the quality of imagery being promoted by the Art Council, compared to the time when the main galleries were solely curated by the image moderators.
I respectfully ... disagree. (On the note of diversity, particularly.)
If one delves into the subcategories of the main galleries, the situation is revealed much more clearly. As opposed to simply looking at the main galleries sorted randomly. Compared to how they sit today, sorted by date.
So..
Considering an image for promotion?
Have a look see at the state of the current sub-gallery that is under consideration prior to pushing that button would be my recommendation.
