I think it might be nice to limit it to show photographers who are currently logged-in.

If displaying profile pictures, those who don't have a profile pic could be weeded out as well.
I don't think the "Picture of the Day" or "Profile of the Day" is the greatest thing but, I really think that having a link to a random profile or random picture would be cool. As well as more options under you name in forum posting.

If we all get $30 webcams it can be real-time .... |

That's a cool idea for a restriction. Maybe in conjunction with some of the others.
How about giving people who have written 500 words or more in critiques in the last week a boost as well? Something like that to promote critiquing. |

| Would it make sense to have this as a members-only feature? ...Another incentive to become a member. |

The trouble with that is it's open to abuse. I could leave a critique on my own hidden photo (or an unknown photo by an old unknown photographer) saying:

Fortunately, that's not hard to detect, and it's a lot of trouble to go to just to get you in the queue. It's also easy to only count those that are not your own.
There's no foolproof method, of course, but it would still do better to promote critiquing than the status quo. And even if left unchecked, for each person who would cheat, there would be 5 or more that would critique more.
Take a look at PhotoSIG for example. They have a system which looks at critiques and decides whether or not to count the rating that goes with them. It's not foolproof, and I don't think people "like being forced", but in my experience it does promote more meaningful and longer critiques. On photopoints, you can get 20 critiques, and they will all say "Excellent work!" "I really like that". On Photosig, you will get more meaningful criticism (though you won't get many).
In this case, I am only talking about tying in some heuristic metrics into the featured queue. |

These could be some more options:
Random Profile on the Site/Random Picture on the Site
Random Profile of someone logged in/Random Picture from someone logged in
Random Profile of someone who has left X amount of comments in Y amount of time/random picture...
Random Profile of someone participating in the current(or previous) challenge/random picture...
Random Profile of someone with at least X amount of favorites/random picture
To have an options bar with ideas like these, or some of these, like the one on the profile search. I don't think this would force people to do things. Like you don't create a website or upload a profile picture just because it is an option on the profile search. I don't think this would force it either. I just don't know how much coding/how long it would take. I would love to see it though.

If you click the word "Community" in the title bar, after all of the posts active in the last 24 hours, underneath "recently added favorites" you do get a random selection of user profiles. (Since I've never seen any without a picture, I think this list may require a profile pic for you to be "chosen"...)
The problem with a random "Photo of the Day" or "Profile of the Day" is that with 20,000 users, it would take like 55 years for everybody to get their "day of fame" on the front page. |
Good Lord! ;/ |

Have a photo-slot by the admin announcements on the left which loads a random photo and the photographer's name/profile link each time the home page is refreshed. If you really want to chew up bandwidth it could load the photographer's profile pic as well. |

What about just a link to a random image or random profile.
