I was uploading a photo the other day and got an automated message saying something like the image was "significantly" smaller than the permited size and considering that smaller images tend to get lower votes I should load another one with bigger size. It was more of a warning.
But it got me to think... How much does the size of the photo really impact the votes it gets? To me, it should be about the photo, not its size.
Of course, extremes are bad but I'm just thinking about average sizes in the range of the 500 - 600 pixels width or height like in this case.
Does size really matters that much? At the moment of voting for a photo here, that is... :-p

If an image is significantly smaller, it does not show as much detail. Also, not taking advantage of everything shows that the photographer did not pay attention.
Occasionally I will still enter a 720 pixel image if I have used a square crop, but otherwise I use the limit.

| Consider this: a 500px square image has only 39% of the pixels of an 800px square image. What we perceive as the "information content" of an image scales with the number of pixels. You will be well served to use as much of the allowed pixel count as possible. |
