Eric, I just found this new feature. It's what I had been hoping for. Thanks so much.

BTW, to my way of thinking - it's fine, no tweaking needed.

Yeah, I know that is a weird way to do it, but the idea is to just separate those with fewer images from those with more images to make an average comparison more valid.

The way I wanted to do it was to take the average of the top five images for anyone, but it turned out to be over my head as I couldn't figure out how to write the query to do that. I found an alternative way that I was not thrilled about so for now I am providing these options and maybe I will eventually get around to figuring out a better method.

Nevermind, the 5 to 20 images thing threw me off. Found myself now...

Pretty cool. But for some reason I can't find myself in the other rankings. I looked at the last place people and I definitely have higher averages so I'm not sure what's going on with that.

I have updated the top photographers page and added some additional ranking options.

The new options rank on average image rating given the constraints shown and the additional constraint of having at least 15 raw votes for any image that is used to calculate the ranking.
