Hallo, @highestman

Welcome back in Connect, and thanks for sharing your profile with us.

I suppose you are looking for a feedback, as I can see several issues in your photos, related to duplicated (a lot) and an excessive Stylistic Adjustment in your latest contributions. According to Photos and videos criteria “Stylistic adjustments (such as applied filters) are acceptable, provided that these stylistic changes are minimal” like to add a bit of saturation, but more extreme adjustments should be avoided.

Duplicates photos should be removed too, because a duplicate do not provide any additional information to the users, and can be interpreted as a way to simply get more points.

Please do not put your account at risk

Thx for the feedback. The over saturated ones are nighttime long exposure. And the duplicate ones are from the review and update. I didn’t realize that it counted both. Should I delete the duplicate ones? I thought the update or correction photos were just to support the info. I believe it’s a minimum amount of points and the pictures don’t count towards the points just the update. Is that correct?

Thanks for the explanation, @highestman

Yes, every picture you add count, and it is visible in the pictures of the place, so you should choose where to post it (photos or update). When a photo is attached to a review (like I normally do) is visible both on the photos and on the review.

Also please keep in mind that the scope of the photos is to describe places and products. The redundancy that you can see here do not help to have a better description of the location.

At the beginning it was the same for me, don’t worry. Unable to choose which photo I liked more I was posting several version of the same dish, the same coffee, and several view of the storefront.

Now I just take several photos, and then I choose the one that I like more. I usually attach the photo to my review, if I have a review to add.

And I use the “update” only if there is something new to highlight on the place, adding a text to explain why the photo was added
