YourShot's Daily Dozen's for 2012: Top-3 Contributors

Continuation of previous posts (YourShot's Daily Dozen's for 2014: Top-5 Contributors, YourShot's Daily Dozen's for 2013: Top-5 Contributors).

Decided to switch to just Top-3 for 2012 year to minimize the listing: there are 16 authors on 4th place (4 publications) and 33 authors on 5th place (3 publications).


  1. The 1st place is divided between two photographers with 8 publications:
  2. In 2012, the threshold for the 2nd place is 6 publications. Two photographers were able to reach it:
  3. Graham McGeorge got the 3rd place with 5 publications.
Graham McGeorge is the only person from the list who will appear in 2013 Top-5 on the 4th place with 9 publications.

Continuation of my first post about top contributors to National Geographic's YourShot daily dozen.
Now, it is time to share listing for 2014 (names are shown in the same way as in public profile of corresponding users).

  1. The 1st place is now occupied by one person with 14 publications in 2014: Raffaele Montepaone.
  2. The 2nd place goes to  cletus nelson nwadike. His photos was selected to Daily Dozen 12 times during 2014.
  3. The 3rd place is divided between three photographers who got 7 photos published:
  4. The 4th place is divided between nine photographers. Each of them has 6 photos published in 2014:
  5. Eighteen (!!!) photographers reached the 5th place with 5 publications in 2014 year.
About 3000 photographs were selected and published during 2014 year in YourShot Daily Dozen from about 2400 users and majority (~90%) of authors were selected once or twice.

Mike Melnotte and Ali Hamed Haghdoust are the only ones who moved from 2013 to 2014 year's list of YourShot's Daily Dozen's Top-5 contributors and it is amazing!

YourShot's Daily Dozen's for 2013: Top-5 Contributors

Hey there,

There is "Daily Dozen" section in Your Shot National Geographic site. This section is updated daily with "Our favorite photos, chosen by National Geographic editors." My curiosity asked me yet another question: are there any photographers who got published there more than once?

I decided to start with year 2013 and after careful calculations, I have compiled yet another listing (names are shown in the same way as in public profile of corresponding users).
Please, welcome.
