A comment on A repository of beautiful photos and images.

on a sample of 9 random images from the repository:

all nine looked like random point and click photos - soft focus, poor lighting, no composition - as if, in fact, you'd faced a landscape feature and taken a photo with no thought to how to present it.

I'm not going to click through all the images, but based on the sample I took it doesn't deserve the 'beautiful' adjective.

I'm no photographer @codeduck. I like them as wallpaper though.

I haven't added many from the "Wiki Loves Earth" competition yet. They might be better from your perspective.

I both agree and disagree. Most of these look straight out of the camera (unprocessed) but I didn't find them as bad as you say, they were mostly good SooC photos that just hadn't been processed. I didn't find many with soft focus.
