I don't understand their algorithm. Take three of my photos off my Flickr page:
1) I consider this photo mediocre. Gets a 10/10, Platinum Ribbon. https://keegan.regaind.io/p/lJ7FEb1kQt-mM1kIe-kVuw https://keegan.regaind.io/p/lJ7FEb1kQt-mM1kIe-kVuw
2) I consider this photo to be fantastic. Perfect reflection. Gets a 7.7/10, no ribbons. https://keegan.regaind.io/p/KUzvRfFeRsK1Lj1selLWQw https://keegan.regaind.io/p/KUzvRfFeRsK1Lj1selLWQw
3) I consider this photo good but not great. Okay but not perfect reflection. Gets an 8.7/10, Reflection Ribbon. https://keegan.regaind.io/p/zaRlMOEySFWKTZlSvWO3Rw https://keegan.regaind.io/p/zaRlMOEySFWKTZlSvWO3Rw
This is confusing as hell to me. I'm averaging 7.98/10 over 30 photos, which personally I think is too high. I'm not that good. But at the same time, my best photos are rated very low and my mediocre photos are rated very highly. This makes no sense.
This photo gets a 6.2/10 and is rated negatively for composition, but is actually near perfect (if I'd have a wider angle lens it might have been better). It follows the rule of 3s with reinforcing repetition throughout, including even in the perfectly captured reflections of me taking the photo itself. It's not an /interesting/ photo, but it's practically perfect composition. https://keegan.regaind.io/p/hrbE85wGQWW3vs5w1QoGFg https://keegan.regaind.io/p/hrbE85wGQWW3vs5w1QoGFg
Keegan is weird.
- iXce 10y agoThe scores range is explained in the modal, 5 is for decent pictures, 7-8 for great ones, 9 for exceptional ones. Your average is really good, and all the scores you got are pretty good as well, congratulations! Keegan definitely makes much worse mistakes than these ^^ Ribbons are one time events that have very different thresholds for happening, if you already got a given ribbon on one picture you won't get it again even if your new picture would be an even better fit for it! Overall aesthetics is a very subjective subject, and getting perfectly accurate scores for it on the wide variety of photos out there is still an open challenge :)
