2011 was a great year in photography. The web has revolutionized how people interact with photos and photographers. Lots of sites encourage peer-to-peer critiques and reviews through sharing and “likes” of content. Due to this increase in social feedback, photographers have been eager to host their photos all over the web and gain ratings. The idea is that the higher the rating, the more a photographer can sell print or digital versions of the photo, such as for use in commercial printed brochures<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But does highly rated photography translate to “good” photography? This collection is of 30 photos from 2011 that received high marks based upon the feedback tools on each respective site.<\/p>\n

Why do you think these photos got so much attention? Is there a theme? What can you take away from this study to either apply or avoid in your own photography?<\/p>\n
