I agree and disagree. I definitely wouldn't worry about the scores, as they have a definite aesthetic that seems to do well over there, and some photos that are really stellar and thought provoking don't score highly because they aren't as pretty.
That said, I don't think you need tons of followers to score highly. I've hit the top spot overall once (with a 99.8), and hit the front page another time. I don't have very many followers. A lot depends on who sees the good images at the right time to get that initial burst, which is crucial to a high score. However, some of my favorite photos have only managed something like an 83, while others that I thought were good, but not my best have topped 95. It's definitely a bit of a crapshoot, but a fantastic image from someone without a lot of followers can rise to the top.
The 'famous' shooters do have the majority of their photos hit at least 95, though. ...Show more →
I have just started and have 12 images up. I understand the nature of momentum, getting your shot posted early on a weekday so it has the entire day for exposure and not competing at the last minute.
For me, I just want to see the relative rankings of my images and do each image in a similar way so that they get similar opportunity. Then I have to account for impact and presentation. A vertical never does well because it must display smaller. Less color hurts as well or less action.
Formal critique anywhere has become hackneyed and full of cliches. I just want an honest up or down vote.
