Quote - it's more important to highlight the best (which is already being done with highest rated, most commented, and most viewed).

 

If only that were true. There is the occasional gem in the highest rated/most commented section. So much great work goes unnoticed. I recommend people give the galleries a good view one day & see the works of art that never make it to the front page or the art charts.
Another way of finding good stuff without major searching is looking at other peoples favourites.
