Re: Gallery Ratings Switched Off

To highlight the issue about wildlife site with a gallery, consider the best of the two Bittern shots in the gallery.

Im by no means an expert critic of photography, however, I will guess that there are at least 100 other images in the gallery that are technically superior to the best of the two bittern shots. However, does one of those bittern shots deserve to be in the top 100, above technically better photographs?

(No disrepsect to the photgrapher there, they got a difficult shot of a very rare bird, and they probably have a photo that average people want to see more than another perfect shot of.. a sparrow or robin for example.)


The user of a wildlife site would probably want to see the bittern shot in the top 100.
