I'm SURE this has been done before but theres alot of new ppl lately that might like to have a look see at some of the best photos on 365!
Ace members if you go to "you" then "your stats" at the bottom is a list of your top rated photos... of mine only one is from this year the rest are my old project...
My #1 is also the first photo I took for this project when I tried and failed in 2010. Got on the popular page and a bunch of people followed me after the first day.
Oddly, this is shown as my #1, but it doesn’t have has many favs or comments as most of the others. It’s really old, too! I was bored at work and made origami flowers out of post-it notes.
@archaeofrog Great selfie!! @lisjam1 Strange isnt it, i dont get the formula but whatever the monkeys says goes!! I've got others with more faves and less views i thought would be higher on the list...? who knows, either way very cute flowers!
Definitely not one of my better photos, but I had decided late that evening to start this and so this is what I snapped...so it was my first uploaded and everyone was welcoming :)
Surprisingly it's this one....though my owl from recent broke the 20 barrier for favs. I think it has something to do with how quickly the favs come in...if it takes a while, then it's lower? Just a thought. Roll of the dice?? Who knows.
This is mine from last year's annular eclipse. I shot it through the smoke from the wild fires that were raging north of the city. (Sunset Point, Arizona, USA) Pretty much a once in a lifetime shot.
My spoon shot from mid December 2012.
Spoons shots are part of the 365 magic. I never would have photographed a spoon prior to 365. I think the secret is to find something bold and strong to reflect in your spoon.
191 views 45 comments and 15 favs... still haven't figured out how this is still my top rated my #2 has more of everything.
Still one of my favorites though
@kjarn@grizzlysghost One of life's eternal mysteries...I sat down a couple of years ago and worked out the formulas for the stats...but in layman's terms if you get a lot of views but not many comments that shot will not rate as well as one with fewer views but a higher percentage of comments to views. Ditto favs to comments.
Here's my toprated one, and i really like it! eventhough it was taken more as a snapshot, since i was ill that day and just took a few shots through te window!
Didn't know if mine was ever going to change after the last 2 years, but this one from a couple of months ago bumped my previous #1 for 18 months... it's one of my all time favourite shots
@alisonp - I'm not ace either Alison so I feel a little left out in this thread... But at a guess, i would say this shot with 1324 views and 153 faves would be up there pretty high.
Still this one, though it seems to be some challengers on my list at the moment, posting here just gives this shot a further advantage, might be unfair, but what the , here it is
@lbjefferies if you ever see some really good storm clouds, find something that would make a great foreground for them. I had to rush to the spot in that photo to get them once they rolled in behind the barn.
Here's mine. Currently on PP much to my amazement. I have a more popular but its an old one from the first time round so was a filler. So its this taken two days ago. If I'm honest I see the amazing landscapes, macros, nature shots above and I stick this on and it feels a little out of place. Although the 365 portfolio seems to be a little like this so far! Enjoy and don't laugh (or compare) - the above are all amazing!
It seems challenging to get your "top rated" photo to change as time goes by, maybe because you have more followers and the threshold is higher? This one remains my top rated even though I've surpassed the numbers in terms of views/comments/favs/new followers on more recent photos, and there are several in my "top 10" that I think, really?? :)
For so long it was a Sunset shot.
But it has now been overtaken by my final video of my journey to 365 days (Day 365) I'm happy about this as it summarizes my year perfectly.
It doesnt show up as a picture here as it is a video but the 4 minutes are here. http://365project.org/monika64/365/2013-01-11
This turns out to be my top rated but by no means my personal favourite. Looking through the other photos in this link I am somewhat overawed by the incredible quality!
It seems like my list hasn't changed in a long time. I still have a weak shot from my first month in my Top 10 that fails to disappear. Here's my number one:
From October 2012
It was a foggy morning, I stopped by the old railroad tracks after dropping my daughter off at school. This was waiting there for me :-)
This is not what is listed as number one... but it has more faves and almost as many views... I don't know how that list works, as there are lesser views and comments and faves above this shot.
My top shot was only last week and made it onto the PP. It has 344 views, only 240 higher than my next best. Not my favourite photo but I fear it will be my top shot for the remaining ten months I have left.
I love all of the shots here. It's fun to revisit the ones that I've seen and faved and also to see new ones. This shot just surpassed the previous #1 of a butterfly that I took back in the fall. It was a breathtaking sight.
This is mine - my second photo to get onto the popular page (the other isn't even on the list!), the first photo I really edited in PhotoShop (I also use Lightroom), and the first time I got smoke photography to work! There are so many imperfections that I would change now, but actually I'm quite pleased with it in general.
What a great idea for a discussion! I love to see some older shots again. Here is mine from April 2012. Hmmm, seems that I didn't learn to much in the meantime :o)
@noragentian that was a great one Ruth.
This is my top photo in the stats
But this one has more favs yet it doesn't even appear in my top 10. Strange monkey business!
@noragentian This is awesome shot. I was surprised to see the change on top in my stats. The Man at the sea from.Dec.2012 jumped over shot from March , my daughter chasing birds and she's got more of fav, views and comments.
It's not my most viewed, or most commented on nor my most faved but this one's showing as my number one.!! Probably something to do with the spped of views/comments/favs also being taken into account...
this is the one that shows up as top in my stats. It definitely wouldn't be in my own personal top 10, but those pesky monkeys are mysterious creatures. I took it when I was only 7 days into my project, since then I have had quite a few with more faves, but it has stayed firmly at the top of my list.
@lisjam1 Strange isnt it, i dont get the formula but whatever the monkeys says goes!! I've got others with more faves and less views i thought would be higher on the list...? who knows, either way very cute flowers!
@sam_cr
Still makes me giggle...this was written on a bathroom wall...and I had my camera with
Although this isn't my favorite.

He wasn't really alone.
I just asked 20.000 people to leave the stadium for a moment :-)
This is my top rated photo of this year.
Thank you for looking at it and for all the kind comments too.
....
This is my top rated
Here's my top rated photo:
Funny that it's not actually my favorite of my own shots.
I never actually liked this shot but it got me to the PP for the first time:D
