This my be the **most** mundane and pointless thing ever posted here but one of the Venus Transit photos I shot the other day made on Flickr Explore. [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/7075/7343362422_38340eb60d_b.jpg "Venus Transit [Explored]") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/unclerojelio/7343362422/) This is the first time I made it on Explore so I’m a little chuffed. ---

Chuffed? Good? Bad? I have no idea, and nothing to go by. Give us a hint at least, mate! ---

Congratulations! I have a feeling that it’s becoming more difficult to get into Explore, based on my having had 14 pictures there between 2006 and 2008, but none since then. I don’t think it’s because my pictures are getting worse: it’s probably because there are more pictures uploaded to Flickr every day that are competing with each other. ---

Very nice composition. I assume the other dots on the disc are sunspots? ---

> [@Finagle](#): > > Very nice composition. I assume the other dots on the disc are sunspots? Yeah, those are sunspots. After several years of no sunspots at all, they are a welcome sight (from a radio propagation perspective). ---

Nice work, nice shot! I’m jealous, never been explored before. ---

I don’t think it’s because my pictures are getting worse: it’s probably because there are more pictures uploaded to Flickr every day that are competing with each other. Yeah, my wife had a string of photos make it on there but none in the last few years. Some of them never dropped off. Mine dropped off later the same day.
