The Best Photographs of 2017

Jonathan Blum

Are you still using Flickr? Well, so are lots of other people, and in late 2017—as it has done every year—Flickr published the best pictures uploaded to its website, based on traffic, number of likes and how often they were shared.

On this occasion though, they did not limit themselves to publishing the best photographs, but also analyzed the devices used to take the images. Although smartphones ranked first, the highest-quality photos were taken by cameras.

I personally feel smartphone cameras take very good pictures, but for a more professional touch I prefer a traditional camera. These are the top 10 photos according to Flickr:
