Part of the problem, other than cliques, is that there are so many images posted every day. Who has time to look at them all!?! If the beta testers would use, and administrators would enforce, the "Work in Progress" gallery, it would reduce the congestion in the art gallery. We could help too by posting a respectful comment, e.g. "Please post in the appropriate WIP gallery." As for cliques, that's almost imposed by the number of posts too. When there are so many, folks tend to get selective on what they want to view. One of the most logical "filters" is by artist. Not that I like it, I would like to see my stuff reviewed too! Image size is another "filter" that will get you knocked out of the viewing. It also seems that the time of your post affects visibility too. So the question remains: How do newbies get their images reviewed to improve? The "beginners" gallery doesn't seem to offer better results. Any ideas?
