Yesterday we revealed the ten most popular features we published here on FotoRoom in 2016. It includes a tight selection of works, so by all means be sure to check it out if you haven’t yet; but the number of times an article gets seen is often related to how many times it gets shared on social media or picked up by other sites, which is a process that depends on several variables. So we’ve decided to also create a list of ten editors’ picks to make sure you’re *really* not skipping on any of the very best of FotoRoom‘s 2016. Here they are, in no particular order:
