Thank you for your positive comment and for submitting details about your star photo of Rennys Food Limited in Owerri, Nigeria. However there is some missing information that is needed to be able to include you in the Leaderboards and I know that you will appreciate that this is a busy post and as well as needing time for me to send you this message, it will take extra time for me to work out your missing information so I would really appreciate if would take just a few minutes to re-read the submission requirements and edit your reply to include the missing information. Just follow the 10 simple steps. Itâs really easy and for a good example of a complete submission see @SholaIB 's submission about Mamba Point. I hope you can do this within 24 hours so I can include you in the next Leaderboard update.
Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.
All the best. Adam
Thank you for your kind appreciation and motivation @karinchavoll . As Iâve written before, I feel that full and final analysis and interpretation of all this data will not be possible until we have a wider representation of Local Guides, especially at levels 1 to 7 and 9. Statistically we need a minimum of 30 at each LG level (I will explain why this magic number of 30 is important later). So Iâm hoping that more Local Guides will join in. We will all benefit from the results so spread the word among your friends and on this, I thank @SholaIB for taking the initiative with his achievement post.
Creo que los factores importantes que contribuyen a hacer una foto superior son:
(a) CuĂĄnto tiempo ha estado la foto en lĂnea
(b) La popularidad del LG (cuanto mĂĄs popular, es mĂĄs probable que se vean las fotos)
Iâm sorry but I have exceeded the limit of PM messages so will reply to your PM here: Thank you for the link. From your link, your answers to questions 8 and 9 should be:
8 - Total photo views is 251,029,884
9 - Total number of photos is: 33,429
You didnât show the Total number of photos so just edit your submission with the above values for questions 8 and 9. Also, it would be good if you would be kind enough to number your answers from 1 to 9 to make your submission easier for everyone to follow. See the many examples in this post including that of @DiegoMeni .
You are welcome. The game seems to be brewing and getting more and more interesting. What happens when my " photo views" increases? As I speak now my figures on the star photos has increased. Do I resend or is that for a new section of the leaderboard?
Yes of course every day we all add photos so the numbers are dynamic but this is irrelevant at the moment as at a given point in time I will normalise all the numbers for better consistency on the Leaderboards. Also, as I have repeatedly said this is not a competition to see who is the best. It is more about performance of our photos and how we can improve this.
Would you please take a screenshot showing where you are seeing Total photo views is 251,029,884 and Total number of photos is: 45,419
Thanks for your input and what a great garden you have! I also checked your co-star photo and love the landscaping with the rockery! Iâm glad that @SonjaPerera passed on an invitation for you to join in this post as your photo performance is precisely what I was hoping to flesh out. Update of the Leaderboards is in hand so stay tuned.
As per update note #7 on the opening post, today 18 August 2020 at 23:25EST, I updated our Leaderboards for entries of @Sagir, @Austinelewex, @LuigiZ, @MamenPerera and @Irfan_dPriyanto and for convenience, these new entries are shown in on the leaderboards. The updates were made based on the information provided by the new entrants and if you are one of these then you should check that I have correctly entered your details and let me know if there are any errors! Additional comments follow:
To try to cut down on the number of questions Iâm getting in both private messages and in comments, Iâve added a question and answer section on the opening post. Putting questions in the one central place is the best way for all, especially new participants, to benefit from the Q&As. So if you have a question then thatâs a good place to start and I will add to the Q&As as the need arises.
Finally, Iâm pleased that we have our first entry in Leaderboard #1.5 for Level 5 Local Guides and I have to say with very impressive photo views! Now Iâve said this before but it is worth repeating. I feel that full and final analysis, and interpretation of all this data will not be possible until we have a wider representation of Local Guide levels so Iâm hoping that more Local Guides will participate. Statistically we need a minimum of 30 at each LG level. So your help in spreading the word will be helpful
It is: The building of the Ministry of Agriculture. It was decorated nicely on the Victory Day of Bangladesh. It is a normal photo.
3.I took/uploaded this photo on: 16 Dec 2019 (Source: Photoâs metadata Date created)
4.Is it my best photo? Not really, but it has a very artistic view with light and colors.
Why do I think itâs my âstar photoâ? If you look closely you will see that artificial light and natural light, the horizon of the twilight, has given it a very nice look.
I think the important factors that contribute to making a top photo are:
A. The relevance of the photo with the place or business
B. The importance or popularity of the place or business itself.
C. Quality of the photo especially clear and bright
The camera I used is: I used my Smartphone Huawei Y7 pro
Thanks for participating in this Leaderboards post @MukulR . Would you please check to verify that you have in fact selected the correct photo as your âstar photoâ because when I view your profile Google is telling me that your âstar photoâ is in fact your photo of Japanese Universities Alumni Association Bangladesh! On this, the greatTaking a screenshot of your star photo instructions kindly created by @Erik_van_den_Ham might be helpful! Also check the upload or created date.
Thanks for the clarification about the star photo @AdamGT if it is about the numbers of view then it should the below photo instead of JUAAB. please advise. I took that photo on 16 Dec 2019 with the same mobile mentioned in my answers. please advise.
That looks much better @MukulR but interestingly when I view your profile on Windows desktop I see that your âstar photoâ is your photo of Japanese Universities Alumni Association Bangladesh as mentioned in my previous message. My curious mind leads me to ask if you would also check this on both mobile and desktop and advise. Is it possible that you may have a different âstar photoâ on mobile and desktop?
I checked both the Mobile and Desktop version and in both cases photo of the Ministry of Agriculture is my star view photo @AdamGT . Please advise what to do now. Should I edit my submission with this new information. Please advise.
Interesting @MukulR . I wonder if there is a difference between public and private views. Anyway weâll leave this observation for now so yes go ahead and update your initial submission.
