How exactly does the site work out the top rated images?
How does it pic one image over another to be "higher" in the list?

I have noticed some images have 2 or 3 ratings totalling 5 stars but an image with only 1 rating of 5 stars above it?

Does it take into account commenting?  How DOES this work?

Addenster can say it well, but I guess it is dependent on the higher percentage of ratings. Suppose 2 people rated an image 5 and one rated 4. Then it is possible to show the total rate result to 5 though 100% of the rates did not give it 5. But when 1 people rate it 5, then 100% of the rates gave it 5. And it gets a higher rank.

Rivu,
You are right, average rate is calculated
