Since the hot 20 went away, you really can't find things like that.  IIRC, you used to be able to view the top rated, or most commented on pictures.  The two seem to go hand in hand with "good".  Then it's up to you on what you call "recent".  Newer always means ranked lower in the most commented/rated scheme because they don't have a 6 year "tail" in which to rack up sometimes hundreds of ratings.
