For the record, I especially enjoyed the older photos. Maybe it's just a matter of making it obvious in the UI that they penalize less, so that score maximizers won't be annoyed with them.

Yes! Games are to be fun, but for many the challenge is fun.

This is fun. One tiny bit of UI feedback - when maximising the image, I'd expect the escape key to go back to the game, and found it a bit frustrating when it didn't.

Hi, I think you should credit the photographer of these as well.

I disagree with all of that feedback. Might be because I got top 3%. I don't mean this in a mean way, but it sounds like sour grapes to me!

I got that London blitz photo bang on. The older photos are fun.

No, don't stop using the older images! They were the most fun for me! Reasoning about the political landscape that would have led to the beach photo was challenging and rewarding when I got it right. And the London Blitz photo was also a ton of fun to see and think about.

Adding to the chorus: I like the older images and the precise year is important! The underground shelter is something that wouldn’t exist just a few years after that photo, or before.
Also, older photos are scored more generously, so being a few decades off won’t tank your score nearly as much as it would on a newer one.
