What is a Daily Deviation?
The Daily Deviation is a daily feature chosen from the galleries here on deviantART.
A small assortment of submissions are chosen each day by a select group of staff/volunteer members who wish to showcase an image which they found impressive or otherwise interesting enough to deserve being brought to the attention of the community-at-large.
The staff/volunteer members responsible for selecting submissions for the daily feature often are open to suggestions and individual community members may direct their attention by noting the appropriate Community Volunteer or staff member with a direct link to the deviation which you are suggesting and a brief description about why you think the work in question should be featured.

Some things you should know
Anyone can suggest a daily deviation. Suggesting someones work for a DD could give that artist the opportunity to reach a much larger audience and gain more exposure. It only takes a few minutes, and it will really make someones day. Try to suggest one as often as possible!
Remember that as a general rule recipients must wait at least 6 months from receiving their last DD before they are eligible for a new one. So if a person has received a DD in the last 6 months, wait a while before suggesting another of their works.
Certain Gallery Moderators and Staff may have specific details on how to suggest Daily Deviations to them. I suggest that you scan their front page for any specific information before suggesting one.
Moderators do receive a lot of suggestions, so not every piece that you suggest may become a DD.
Also keep in mind that due to the sheer volume of notes that Gallery Moderators receive, you may or may not receive a reply.
So be remain both persistent and patient, and your diligence will pay off!
Remember that you are doing this as an act of kindness.

Many notes I've sent are still unread. For the others, I rarely got a reply (the current fractal GM always replies though
I'm more than glad that I could make those 7 deviants happy and provided them the exposure they deserved, but I confess I would have appreciated a little reply (even a copypaste one) for my notes... Politeness, nothing more I ask for
So I personally take no offense if I do not receive a reply to suggesting a DD. I simply suggest and move on.
I just personally think that the suggester gets more "demotivated" by the "I'm ignored" or "It seems like spending my time providing suggestion just annoys the GM" feeling rather than the "my suggestion wasn't featured" feeling. It's a negative attitude I've seen very often on DD related polls, journals etc... and I admit I felt a little demoralized because of this as well
However, very nice article
My only wish was for them to have an abstract section under traditional. They break down the photography into several categories but there are also several categories that should be under traditional as well
