Why 99.7%

For fun, I have run some of my photos through EveryPixel. Often, my "best" shots get disappointing scores (good for the ego) but why did this image score 99.7%

I would think the interesting juxtaposition of the three main parts of the image were what earned that grade. Only one drawback on my iPad screen view was that the thorns were sharper than the blossum, but on second thought maybe was on-purpose. Thorns are sharper than petals, as any arm will learn.

Who knows how the algorithm works. Personally, I only use EP for keyword generation.

We can get into all kinds of esoteric conversations about this. The answer is quite simple. Algorithms. Computers are evaluating the work. They can only do as well as the programmers set them up to do.

Everypixel 'measures' likeability, not technical excellence or composition. We once had a pro photographer give a talk at our club, and a member asked him what his favourite image was. A field of rapeseed flowers, with a featureless blue sky above. Out of all the images we had seen that night this was pants. But, he explained, he sold a lot of copies of it because it made good background material for advertising copy. And afforded him the time to take the material we all liked.

I find the larger plant to the right 2.5% distracting.
