Indeed this is a valuable and fun feature..always look forward to it.  Yikes, my only images to stand a chance for this were during the "quiet time"...ah,,,to shoot more and try for a photo good enough with enough appeal.    I have been selected before and believe me, it is an honor and does wonders for the photographer.

As a viewer, it does wonders for me, too.  I see what I have missed and appreciate the different styles and pov of other artists here...that is what really makes it such a worthy feature.
