I had 3 approved in the last weeks. I tracked my photos in the recent addition category and lots of other new photos appeared (maybe 10 each week). The number/counter of new additions also varied. Didn't make notes, looks like older photos drop from that list. Anyway my observation is they are accepting many new photos and many new photos are in the same genre, sunsets, lighthouses, bugs, flowers etc. My advise keep posting they didn't raise the bar, only the input volume has exploded. It wouldn't surprise me if the judges pick one or two every day from the voting queue and if that's true luck is also important. My approvals are a little surprise to me, 2 of them are quick "tests" of a new lens. Others which I gave much more thought and time didn't make it.
