Flickr has selected the 25 best photos from users for 2017

Flickr is a service designed for storing and further using user digital photos and videos. Since its launch in 2004, Flickr has become one of the most popular photo hosting sites, and it already has more than six billion images in its database.

By the end of 2017, Flickr released its list of the most beautiful frames. They were selected using a special algorithm that tracked the number of views and reposts of photos, their use on other sites. The final choice was made by the staff of the photo hosting.
