I was thinking yesterday that one cool benefit to Ace membership is being able to see the stats on your shots, and which ones are your top-rated photos. I'm surprised by the order of them, because there doesn't seem to be a lot of rhyme or reason to it, but I'm sure there must be some mysterious mathematical formula that I don't understand.
Anyways, I thought it would be cool if you could also see other Ace members top-rated photos when you clicked on their profile, but then I was like, "well, I guess I could just ask them....."
So, what's your top-rated photo? Non-Ace members can just post their most viewed or most fav'd:)
Here's mine, which I'm surprised by, because it has less comments, views and fav's then some of my other shots that are in the top 10. But I like it anyways:)
@mej2011 lol - forgot you were new at the whole Ace thing. If you go on your news feed and click the right facing arrow (beside stats) at the top, it will bring up all your stats. Scroll down a bit and it will tell you your top ten photos.
@pwallis
How in the world can you forget that I just Aced up? How rude, really. lol. Okay, so apparently my top rated is this.
I'm very disappointed that it isn't the infamous Ham bone.
Great thread here!!! Though I have a stupid question, this is #2 and it has more comments, views, and fav's than my photo in the #1 spot? Not sure I am reading the stats right... anyway, this one has the most comments, views, and fav's.
I have never really paid attention to the overall stats, but I agree with you all.....they aren't what I expected. This was my #1 photo. The shot that I thought would be #1 was actually #3. Very interesting topic!
Well aint that funny. According to my stats my top rated photo is from yesterday! 27 views, 8 comments and 1 fav (and I'm not just looking at the last 7 days!). It must be a ratio thing.. and the fact that I actually got a fav!
@pwallis I know! It was my all time top rated according to my stats. Number 2 was a recent one as well with 77 views, 19 comments and a fav.
Number 5 went back to feb with 103 views, 11 comments and 1 fav
472 views/27 favs....the sentimental nature of it got it a lot of views/favs...it is not a great photo, but I do love it. And it is a nice memory of my mom and the day my niece and I did this. It was my first "Dear Photo" and hope to do some more.
@pwallis You just made me smile :) Thanks. You seriously don't have others that are higher in your album? I was just cruising through some of my fav's of others this morning and I have a bunch of yours that are stunning. This numbers thing doesn't quite jive.....great idea for a thread, though!
@slang no, I thought that was weird that this was number one, because a couple have way more views, comments and fav's. I don't understand the criteria!
My photo with the most views isn't even on my top ten list. It's had the most views because it made the top five in the "Remembrances" themes, so got lots of views.
I'm not an Ace Member but this is my most fav'd photo with 34 faves. LOL! It still makes me laugh that out of all my photos the Cookie Monster takes the cake...actually the cookie! :)
I can't figure out the formula for "top rated" but this is mine... and I have to admit that, though I don't think it is my best shot, it did take lots of work and I love it. :)
I was pleased with this when I took it, but now it seems unoriginal and i'm bored with it. i've definitely decided that i'm more of a people photographer than a nature photog....but, with a measly 154 views/9 comments/2favs......
This is my top rated shot - which is weird because the one below that has more views, more comments and more faves!
49 faves, 355 views
56 faves, 504 views
ah the strange way the stats of this site works. SOme great shots here peeps xx
Dali's Dark Disney has held the top spot for quite a while now and has 719 views, 98 comments and 57 favs. I suspect it will be the first one to crack 1000 views!
This shot put me on cloud 9! 124 views, 6 favs, made the tag challenge top 5 and was on the popular page for 3 days. Funny thing, when I took it, I didn't think it would really come out looking this good!
@pwallis This is my most faved and viewed shot. It was for the theme Wheels, and I flipped my bike over and on a tripod and got this shot.It really was a 10 second shot and I was very surprised it did so well, it was in the top 5. I have spent hours on some shots and gotten only a few comments. go figure.
I guess I don't understand the process, either. This was my "Top Rated" even though it didn't have the most views, comments or favs. I like it a lot, too...so maybe that's it :)
There are some really 'wow' shots in this thread - not surprising I suppose as it's pretty much people's best shots. @jannaellen was that fab theatre shot in your 'Extra' album - they don't seem to feature as highly as main album shots?
This is my top rated...
But this has more Views, comments and faves (but it's older...)
@pwallis Great idea for a discussion Paula. Lots of awesome work here! My top viewed pic is this one with 735 views and 45 faves! I hadn't checked my stats in a long time, and it was fun to see. Carved this one for the fruit theme, obviously had way too much time on my hands that week.
I have two; this one has less views etc, but is rated as number one:
Whereas this one has tons more views, comments and faves, but sticks at number 2!
The only thing I can think of is on the latter one the views are spread over a longer period of time; maybe that has some influence on the magic monkeys?
And I am not surprised... this one got a lot of attention everywhere, actually. It was featured in a social workers magazine.... with credit ;) I wish I hadn't uploaded the one with the giant logo on it, but I just uploaded the one I gave to my client...
This discussion is very informative but it keeps getting buried in the back of the lists- today, it's on Page 6 of Latest Discussions- anything we can do to correct that and get more responses? @pwallis
@pamelaf it was on the top yesterday and in 2nd place the day before. But yeah, I'm really enjoying the responses and would love to see more too. Not sure how to bring it to the forefront again!
@pwallis I saw it there first but later in the day, I wanted to go back and look and found it several pages back. I'd like to see more people's responses but they won't see the thread if it's not on the "Latest Discussions" page.
My friend D Marie Williams More has some answers about why the ones that are top-rated are chosen- it has to do with algorithms! I hope she'll post here soon- now that I found the thread for her.
@pwallis I think it has to do with the number of followers compared to the number of views. When @pamelaf and I posted our now top rated photos they got on the popular page and got a lot of views. We each had 4 or 5 followers at the time. I now have a photo with more views, more comments, and more favs, and it is ranked #3.
Now we have to figure out why this discussion is so far back in the Latest list when it was only started on October 18th. @pwallis@dmariewms
Anyone know how to ask Ross?
This one has the most comments and views, but 7 less favs than another shot. This is one of MY favs from my project, so I'm ok with it being number one.
Tweets ahoy!

It actually is my top viewed, top rated, top commented, top fav'd.
but this one has way more views. The ratio of views to faves is less than the one above though, so I bet that's why it's not #1, but #2 instead.
You know it would have been nice if you could have maybe posted a little how to explanation here. Top Rated? Where?
How in the world can you forget that I just Aced up? How rude, really. lol. Okay, so apparently my top rated is this.
I'm very disappointed that it isn't the infamous Ham bone.
NO! :(
I wonder what my lowest rated photo is?
414 views and 53 fav's and I had to be coaxed in to posting it.
My #1 121 views, 56 comments, 9 favs
My #2 271 views, 63 comments, 14 favs - This one has more of all three!
Just recently got my top spot
Number 5 went back to feb with 103 views, 11 comments and 1 fav
400 views, 66 comments, 30 favs
Views: 276
Faves: 15
This is what it said was my top rated photo.
Fun to see all these great pics again!

914 views | 70 favs
392 views, 19 favs and a really old shot, too ;)
And then this (439 views, 43 favs) isn't even on the top ten list... Go figure ;)!
Changes between this and my snail one often
I have another with more views, comments and favs but I think this comes top because of how quickly they happened in comparison.
Here is the #1 of my top 10. Not the most viewed and commented but got the most faves (269 views, 74 comments, 47 faves)
This one has more fav's, but less views so it is #4
but this one has more comments, and it's my fav out of the two as well :)
This one has the most views: 173 (12 Fav)
And this one has the most Fav's: 13 (139 views)
This shot put me on cloud 9! 124 views, 6 favs, made the tag challenge top 5 and was on the popular page for 3 days. Funny thing, when I took it, I didn't think it would really come out looking this good!
This view stunned me for a few weeks on the way to work, and people here seem to like it too!
This one, and it's not even from my main album!
And my number 2, for good measure:
The woman is my great-grandmother.
my most viewed photo
277 views, 74 comments, 31 favs
I was blown away by the reception I got for this photo! I didn't think it would be a popular photo
This thread motivated me to finally become an ace member :)
Top rated thus far....
This one has the most views, though not the most fav's. Not sure why. I guess it paid off to hang out on my deck, getting pelted with sleet.

(My most viewed photo is 3rd on my list)
And this is the Most Fav'd are both Fav'd 2 Times :)

This is my top rated.
