Based on the discussion with the moderators:
Photos on the site will be divided into two types: photo butterflies and photo landscapes (extra).Photos of butterflies will be divided into two levels - the first (basic pictures, which are displayed everywhere) and the second (auxiliary, technical pictures that are only displayed at the touch of a button or by choosing the settings).In order to separate the photograph from the first level of the second pictures, and filtered image, which is generally better to delete the following criteria will be used:

1. The technical image quality (sharpness, size, etc.)
2. Aesthetic composes
3. Angle shemki
4. Living / pressed a copy
5. The state of the instance in the image
6.Showing typical / hallmarks of species
7. Gender
8. Subspecies / shape etc.
9. The place and time of recording
10. Step (imago / neimago)

Furthermore, it may be taken into account, someone took a shot (for beginners it is logical to make some concessions and rarely remove their pictures than shots experienced users).

Iewhen deciding whether to leave the newly loaded in the first shot at or transferred to the second question is put - and that it brings a new photo for the species? Perhaps in the photo shows a copy of the floor, for which there is no photo? Or is it all a caterpillar, and still no one track of this type of site is not? Or an interesting point? And so on.For discussion: What other attributes do you think is necessary to consider and approve whether all of those listed above?

The good news is, it's time to clean up the gallery) Like it or not, that person site. Given the many (and rightly so!) The above selection criteria, and almost 27 thousand. Photo gallery, the work to be difficult and colossal volume. It requires a lot of time.Almost finished finally charged eliminate flaws in illustrating species, genera, etc., in general, all supraspecific taxa. Holes and error, I hope there are no more. If you miss something, and someone will notice mistakes, please inform.Fix had a lot of browsing one by one all of the superfamily, reviewing the past month almost all the photos, so now particularly warmly welcome the forthcoming "cleansing" of the gallery)).Question - how it really will be what? After all, you need to shovel the entire gallery series, and even taking into account the geographical locations of shooting! And how many pictures (maximum) is scheduled to leave for the species in the first level? Or no restrictions would be - if only all eligible Qual-va? I think the photo different individuals need to leave, that is.a. There is absolutely identical butterflies "in the face", as well as people) Of course, talking about the qualities. photo. But a lot of pictures of one specimen taken from approximately the same angle, and you can podsokratit, even if they are all qualities., By removing part of the second level.
For its part, is ready to offer any help!

Well, my "two cents" in the subject :)
As an example, which should not be photo stay long in the gallery (especially a role in determining they have played). In extreme cases, you can leave one for each copy.

Of course, such a photo to be taken, as they contribute very definition.But after the definition should be removed.
Purely personal opinion and I hope the authors will understand me :) Well, they do not carry any aesthetics (
I add. Fully support the proposal of Irene, about the reduction of shots of the same butterfly.In my quite complete enough picture of the top and underside of the photo (if any), or a group: live butterfly + it is in the dried state.

I add structural elements in his repertoire.
Since everything formalized and quite well (what the merit of Peter in the first place), it makes sense to do various "sets" of how the site will be submitted to a particular user.Naturally, there are more groups, such as viewing photos in order to identify, view photos on a geographical basis, etc.
At the same time, there will be personal, which may be configured different preferences ...Specific kits, for obvious reasons - a topic for another conversation =)
The different sets of filtering level will be different. Ie hiding from the eyes will be different pictures.
So I'm leaving for the maximum number of shots. If this does not prejudice us in the amount of disk space, the amount of base ...All the "disturbing" images, you can simply hide. Remove decided to just completely illegible picture, with the object of shooting 3 by 4 pixels.
