Also, for the writer, the “preview in new tab” link doesn’t work - says I cannot view drafts. Might be something in the formatting.

I had read the vast majority of images uploaded to Flickr and other image sites were created with phone cameras. I see all (?) of these images were from DSLRs. My cynical mind wonders if Sony Nikon canon etc were sponsors.

My guess would be that the best photos of the year were taken by professionals who would like to sell their images.

There must be at least one pro on Flickr who licenses less restrictively, or one amateur whose less-restrictively-licensed image ranks as pro-level quality.
