Highest Rated Photos
Use the PHOTO link on the site menu bar, browse, then you can select from a number of options to browse photos of which HIGHEST RATED is one of them.

| Some of the highest rated early on would score much lower these days. Average votes have dropped from the beginning. They're still good pictures, but something that may have scored 7.5 years ago may be much less today. |

it's also worthwhile remembering that the cameras we have available today are also considerably better than the cameras of early times.
Voters taste also has changed. |

Hmmmm. So following that line of logic, photos scoring in the mid 7's today would be 9's in years gone by? ;^) |

Taking into consideration the downward trend that mad_brewer mentions, Steinar's "Fall From the Sky" is especially impressive for its stratospheric score, given that it was shot just a few months ago:
Plus you can click on the thumbnail in the photographer's comments and prepare to be blown away at the effort some people put into capturing these images :-)
Skiprow's "Absolute Still" is also an extremely impressive "modern day" score, and an absolute masterpiece of an image IMO.

Given the vagaries of the collective "voter's psyche", I'm not sure ANYTHING would have ever scored a 9+, but I'd bet some of the "best" high-7's would have scored in the 8's, yup.

This needs updating, but I'm sure the trend is the same. This is only averages and in reverse order.
Bear_Music's point is right on target. Add this one to a great modern day score:

You'd need a score better than 7.106 to get into the site "top 1000" images ever (if score is the sole criteria). If you look through the challenges from 2002, it looks like the standards as to what constitutes a 7.0+ image have changed significantly, but so have the number (and talents) of users, as well as the caliber of camera equipment available.
Another interesting stat to look at is the list of most faved images (click link and scroll down) but this is a much smaller list, only 30 images by my count, and you need a pic to be faved more than 134 times to make this list. Not easy to do! |
