23 Jul 07 - Please review the revised rules. I WILL start deleting images that do not have 3 favorites without exception for any posted after the 10 of mine I added back that do qualify. Please don't be offended, just follow the rules!

My apologies to the group. Between travel and work I have been scarcely a member much less a good administrator. That is bad for the group. I will try to do better. Thanks. PhotoSensate

About One Percent Plus!

This group utilizes the ratio of "Favorites" to "Views" to isolate quality photographs from those that might otherwise "catch" the eye (and maybe even the imagination); but, not the respect of the Flickr community in general.

Using Flickr data, I have evaluated two of my own photos that have a relatively high number of "views" and favorites" and suggest that the higher worth of an image is revealed in the ratio of favorites to views. A perfect score would be 1, meaning that everyone who viewed a photo also made it a favorite.

Let's see how it works in the case of the two images below.

The first image has a ratio of just over 4 tenths of 1% with 27 favorites and 6,260 views. The second photo has a ratio of nearly 5% with 11 favorites and 225 views. So, photo #2 is 12 1/2 times "better" (4/1000 verses 5/100) than photo #1, even though photo #1 has nearly 2 1/2 times more "favorites" and nearly 30 times more views.
