but this is my Question the 6 that did not make the mark are not in my Gallery did WC change it.
I can't speak to that part of your question, but would make a suggestion - don't 'slam' the catagory with 10 images at a time.
It seems that logic would dictate that you'd have a much higher chance of success by ul'ing just a couple of your very best at a time.
Also, perhaps, try to be a little more discriminating when self-evaluating your WP's for submission. Sad to say, but not every blossom is a rose. Know it's hard to toss one when you've got time invested in it, but I'm sure the mods look at (at least) dozens of WP submissions a day so discretion may be the better part of valor if you're trying to get your WP's displayed.
